Premier League: Spurs match at Brighton postponed due to COVID-19

Rennes criticised the decision to postpone the Europa League game, saying it was taken unilaterally by Tottenham and that they reserved the right to appeal to UEFA.

Tottenham Hotspur have had a second match postponed this week after the Premier League agreed on Thursday to call off Sunday`s game at Brighton & Hove Albion due to a number of COVID-19 cases at the London club.

Spurs had their Europa Conference League game at home to Stade Rennais on Thursday called off by UEFA on Wednesday after the club said they had 13 positive coronavirus cases -- eight players and five members of staff.

"The Premier League Board has taken the decision to postpone the game following guidance from medical advisers, with the health of players and staff the priority," the league said in a statement.
