Football.London have revealed the Tottenham Hotspur players will undergo another round of testing over the weekend in order to determine when the squad can return to Hotspur Way.
The first-team section of the club’s training ground has been closed following a breakout of COVID-19 at Tottenham, with the players now training from home.
Tottenham’s Europa Conference League clash against Rennes and their Premier League clash against Brighton were subsequently called off.
According to reports, Spurs are unlikely to be in a position to field a team against Leicester on December 16 either, with many at the club only expecting the team to return to action against Liverpool on Sunday, December 19.
Football.London have now explained that Spurs are having to take their return to action on a day-by-day basis at the moment.
The eight players who returned positive tests this week are now isolating and they all have differing return days depending on when they first tested positive or started showing symptoms.
The report adds that following the closing down of the first-team complex at Hotspur Way, the number of cases at the club is now ‘heading in the right direction’.
However, it is explained that a return date has not yet been pencilled in by the club and their decision will be guided by the results of a further round of tests, which will be administered today.
Spurs Web Opinion
Due to the threat of potential false-negative tests and also the incubation period of the virus, the club will likely want to be extra cautious and not open the first-team section of Hotspur Way unless they are convinced that the breakout has been stopped.
