UEFA Cancels COVID-Posptoned Tottenham, Rennes Match

UEFA on Saturday announced the cancellation of Tottenham’s COVID-postponed Europa Conference League game against Rennes, IgbereTV reports.

The two clubs were unable to find a suitable date to reschedule Thursday’s game and “as a consequence, the match can no longer be played”, European football’s governing body explained.

UEFA’s disciplinary wing will determine a result for the scrapped fixture.

The ruling will please Group G winners Rennes.

The French side had flown to London and accused Spurs of making a “unilateral decision” in calling off the match on Wednesday.

Tottenham were level on points with third-placed Vitesse Arnhem and required a win to seal second and go through to the play-off round.

But according to UEFA rules Antonio Conte’s side face being declared 3-0 losers, ending their participation in the third-tier competition.

Conte revealed on the eve of the game in north London that eight of his players and five members of staff had tested positive for Covid-19.

Rennes go on a winter break on December 22 and did not take the postponement well
