Tottenham’s match against Fulham was postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak on the west side of London.
On Tuesday, the Athletic had exclusively announced that due to the number of positive COVID-19 tests among Fulham’s players and staff, the game was in question. The Premier League appears to have full faith in its COVID-19 protocols. And they are sure they be able to continue playing the fixtures as planned, with low numbers of positive tests across the vast majority of clubs.
Tottenham released a statement on Wednesday afternoon. It read: “We can confirm that our Premier League home fixture against Fulham, scheduled to take place this evening (Wednesday 30 December), has been postponed. “The Premier League informed us of the decision this afternoon, with Fulham having requested the postponement on the grounds of the number of COVID-19 positive cases among their players and staff.”
“Everyone at Tottenham Hotspur sends their best wishes to Fulham for a safe and speedy recovery to all those who are affected. “Details of a new date for the fixture will be confirmed in due course.”
