The match between Leicester and Tottenham has been postponed due to Covid-19

The match between Leicester and Tottenham has been postponed hours before kick-off due to the many cases of Covid-19 in both clubs. This week, representatives of both teams complained after the Premier League rejected some requests to reschedule the duel.

With this, Tottenham does not enter the field for the second time in a row in the Premier League. Last weekend, the team led by Antonio Conte did not face Brighton. The club also did not participate in the confrontation against Rennes, in the conference league, last Thursday.

Brentford coach Thomas Frank announced on Thursday that there was an outbreak of Covid-19 in his squad and requested that matches to be played this weekend be postponed. And the club held a duel against Southampton scheduled for Saturday on its agenda, but the confrontation already against Manchester United, which was to take place last Tuesday, is postponed.

Due to the strong reach of Omicron, the latest version of Covid-19, in the UK, many clubs are experiencing a health crisis. Last Wednesday, more than 78,000 people tested positive for coronavirus in the region.
