Premier League club reportedly hit by Covid-19 outbreak

Up to six Tottenham players have reportedly tested positive for Covid-19, while two members of the club’s backroom staff are also said to have returned positive results, threatening to throw their Premier League campaign into real disarray.

Spurs will now undergo another round of PCR tests on Tuesday to confirm the results before any further decisions are taken.

Antonio Conte’s team are scheduled to face Brighton on Sunday, while next Thursday’s Premier League game with Leicester could also be impacted by the outbreak.

Premier League may be approached to postpone upcoming fixture

Should the PCR tests come back positive, or if there are further positive results, Spurs may consider reaching out to the Premier League to have this Sunday’s trip to Brighton postponed, according to The Telegraph. 

Spurs also have to negotiate an important Europa Conference League game against Rennes on Thursday night before their trip to the Amex Stadium this weekend. 

Several Premier League games had to be postponed last season due to outbreaks, but it appears Spurs could be the first top-flight club this season to have been so adversely affected by the virus.
