Leicester vs Tottenham: Premier League fixture postponed following Covid-19 outbreak

Sky Sports News has been told that the Spurs' match against the Foxes has been postponed due to the Covid-19 outbreak.

Last weekend's Premier League game against Seagulls was the third postponement in a row for Spurs, who were also scheduled to play Rennes in the Europa Conference League.

The postponements came after a number of players and staff at the club tested positive for Covid-19.

Brendan Rodgers said on Wednesday that he was "disappointed" that the fixture had not been postponed because of the outbreak of coronaviruses.

The postponement comes hours after Thomas Frank called on the premier league to suspend this weekend's round of games due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
