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.
