West Brom suffer blow ahead of clash with Tottenham after Branislav Ivanovic and Matheus Pereira are forced into isolation following positive Covid-19 tests

Branislav Ivanovic and Matheus Pereira will miss West Bromwich Albion's Premier League match with Tottenham on Sunday after testing positive for Covid-19.

Baggies manager Slaven Bilic confirmed both players have started a period of self-isolation after the positive tests and will miss the match at The Hawthorns.

It comes as a blow to West Brom's hopes of gaining a positive result and climbing out of the relegation zone ahead of the two-week international break.
