Tottenham hit by Covid outbreak ahead of busy schedule

A covid epidemic has hit Tottenham Hotspur’s training ground.

Spurs have a tough schedule ahead of them, with a Europa League match against Rennes on Thursday night and a Premier League match against Brighton on Sunday afternoon.

The north Londoners go to Leicester City on Thursday before hosting Liverpool at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, December 19.

However, a number of players and coaching staff have tested positive for coronavirus, throwing Tottenham manager Antonio Conte’s preparations into disarray.

Earlier in the season, two players for the team recorded false-positive tests and then received negative results on two follow-up tests.

If the epidemic is confirmed, it could have an impact on the games ahead, depending on the number of people affected and whether or not there are any more instances.

While there has been precedent for Premier League matches being postponed owing to a covid outbreak in one club’s camp, the situation in the Europa Conference League is slightly different.

According to the competition’s UEFA rules, a match is only in peril if “fewer than 13 players listed on the A list are available” or “no registered goalkeeper is available.”

Tottenham would be able to complete that match on Thursday night as things stand.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
