Tottenham’s upcoming Premier League match against Brighton has been postponed after a widespread COVID-19 outbreak at the London club.

A date for the game, which was supposed to be played on Sunday, has not yet been decided.

In a statement, the league said the fixture had to be rearranged after a “significant number of positive COVID-19 cases among players and relevant staff” were identified at Tottenham.

It added that facilities at the club’s training centre have been closed after a consultation with the league and the UK Health Security Agency.

“The postponed fixture will be rescheduled in due course and the Premier League wishes a quick recovery to those with COVID-19,” the statement said.

The club’s Europa Conference League match against Rennes scheduled for Thursday was called off on Wednesday evening.

On Wednesday, Spurs head coach Antonio Conte said the club’s COVID outbreak was “serious” and he was “scared” after eight players and five members of staff tested positive.
