TOTTENHAM could reportedly ask the Premier League to postpone this weekend's fixture against Albion after there was an outbreak of Covid at the club.

Some Spurs players and staff members have tested positive for coronavirus, with the club awaiting results of PCR tests.

Those that have positive tests are believed to be double vaccinated.

According to The Telegraph, at least seven members of Spurs' players and staff have contracted Covid, however, their names have not been released as of yet.

The news outlet states that the North London outfit could ask for their upcoming trip at the Amex Stadium to be rescheduled.

With the possibility of more positive cases, Spurs, who have kept their training ground open on Tuesday morning, are likely to consider requesting the weekend's game to be pushed back.

And they also claim that Thursday's crucial Europa Conference League match against Rennes could face a similar fate.

Antonio Conte's side have to win the match against the French side in order to progress out of the group.

However, for the match against the Ligue 1 team to be postponed, Tottenham would need more players to be ruled out.

A Uefa rule says that matches are only in danger of being rescheduled 'if less than 13 players registered on the A list or no registered goalkeeper are available'.

With Spurs not matching that figure, at the moment, the game will go ahead as planned.

Tottenham will be hoping the PCR results will show false positive lateral flow tests.

The club did have two positive tests earlier this season, with both turning out to be false positives.

Postponing the clash against the Seagulls could still prove to be another issue for the London based side as their Premier League match against Burnley last month was called off after heavy snow.
