Tottenham Hotspur manager, Antonio Conte, has confirmed that at least eight players and five staff have contracted COVID-19.
Spurs host Rennes in the Europa Conference League on Thursday.
However, UEFA regulations stipulate the match cannot be postponed, unless a club has fewer than 13 players available or no registered goalkeeper.
Conte’s men need a win against the Ligue 1 side to stand a chance of progressing into the last 32.
“The situation makes me very upset because the situation is serious.
“It’s contagious and there is a big infection. Now we are a bit scared because tomorrow we don’t know what will happen,” Conte said.
It is believed Tottenham will approach the Premier League to postpone Sunday’s match against Brighton.
