Tottenham 'are hit by MORE Covid cases with a first-team player and a number of their U23s team testing positive' in a fresh outbreak, with Antonio Conte's plans taking another blow after two postponed games

Crisis-hit Tottenham have been rocked by another Covid-19 outbreak, according to reports, with one first-team player testing positive and their Under-23s team also being hit hard by cases.

In another significant blow for the club and manager Antonio Conte ahead of their scheduled clash against Leicester on Thursday night, Spurs may now have as few as 13 players to work with.

The fresh setback comes after their Europa Conference League tie against Rennes and top-flight trip to Brighton were both called off - with eight first-team stars, nine members of staff and a handful of youth players having tested positive.
