Tottenham recorded thirteen cases of coronavirus infection before the match. Eight players and five other team members had a positive test. The duel was postponed at first, but now UEFA has announced that the match will not take place.
“Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, it was not possible to find a solution with which both clubs would agree. Therefore, the match cannot take place and the matter has been referred to the control, ethics and disciplinary commission, which will decide in accordance with the competition rules, “said UEFA. The match with the already certain Rennes group winner was supposed to be a key duel for Hotspur to advance to the elimination phase.
Tottenham also had to postpone Sunday’s English League match with Brighton due to the team’s lead.
