Corona injuries attack the Tottenham team before a decisive European match

Several local media reports said today that six players and two members of the Tottenham football team were infected with the Corona virus, two days before the London club’s match with French Rennes in the “Europe Conference League” competition. And the British “Press Association” agency indicated that the London club is in the process of conducting “BCR” tests for its members in order to confirm positive cases, noting the results of the tests conducted last month, which revealed two false positive cases in the team.

Thursday's match is very important for Tottenham, as it seeks to catch Brien and qualify as the second group in Group G, and therefore he must win it to ensure that because Vitesse Arnhem, the Dutchman, who in turn meets the last Slovenian Mora, is only behind him in the two direct confrontations between the two teams. Even with six of its players infected with “Covid-19”, the Italian coach Antonio Conte’s team will not be able to postpone the match because the rules of the European Union (UEFA) stipulate that the postponement only occurs if there are less than 13 players at the team’s disposal.

But it is certain that the lack of six players will affect the technical situation of the team not only for Thursday's match, but for the next three matches that it will play in the local league against Brighton on Sunday, then Leicester and Liverpool next Thursday and Sunday.

The London team returned to compete strongly for a qualified seat in the European Champions League next season, after its victorious exit from its last three matches in the Premier League, raising its score to 25 points in fifth place, two points ahead of its neighbor West Ham, who finished fourth in the final qualifying for the continental competition.
