European football’s governing body UEFA has confirmed that Tottenham’s Europa Conference League game with Rennes on Thursday is off after a coronavirus outbreak in the Spurs camp.
Tottenham announced on Wednesday that the Group G fixture would not take place after 13 players and members of staff tested positive for Covid-19 at the Premier League club.
French side Rennes, who had flown to London, said Spurs had made a “unilateral decision”.
But UEFA confirmed in a statement on Thursday the game would not go ahead, giving the organisation a headache over the rescheduling of the game.
“We can confirm that the Tottenham-Rennes match will not take place tonight,” it said. “Further information will follow in due course.”
