UEFA has made a decision! This is the end of cups for Tottenham!

The situation unexpectedly became dramatic overnight. An outbreak of the coronavirus was detected on the Antonio Conte team, which excluded most of the players from the game. It got to the point where only ten field players were available for the match against Rennes in the European Conference League scheduled for Thursday.

Tottenham is out of the European cups. “No solution found”

The meeting with Rennes had to be canceled due to problems with the coronavirus. This decision aroused a lot of controversy and caused outrage on the side of the French club. Its authorities immediately announced an appeal against this decision, as they argued that it had been taken unilaterally without any negotiations.

On Friday it turned out that Rennes had somehow achieved their goal, as UEFA had decided that Thursday’s game would not be held on a different date. – Unfortunately, despite the efforts made, it was not possible to find a solution that would satisfy both clubs – stated UEFA’s official communiqué. – As a consequence, the match cannot be played anymore, and the case will be referred to the UEFA Control, Ethics and Discipline Committee for a decision in accordance with Annex J of the tournament regulations – added

This federation decision means that Tottenham will say goodbye to the European cup as they only finished third in the group. Rennes, on the other hand, had already secured a promotion from the first place. The second team to win a promotion was Vittese Arnhem.

Tottenham’s match against Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League on Sunday was also canceled due to contamination. This match, however, will be played in a different stage.
