"The only thing we can say is that what we did in the beginning of the season is impossible to repeat and we refuse to repeat. We would never accept to play seven matches in three weeks like we did before."

However, Mourinho is unmoved with the rearranged fixtures when his team will be hoping to avoid the biggest upset in FA Cup history when his side take on eighth-tier Marine.
Mourinho said:
"It is a completely impossible position for a club to have three matches postponed, especially if that club plays in Europe,"
"We thought we might be having to play a game if we had only 14 players available from whole squad, including academy. We were prepared for that.
"We had positive cases. We cannot deny. Players, coaches, other staff. We have had problems."
