Two Tottenham Players Tests Positive For Covid-19

Tottenham’s plans for Sunday’s Premier League trip to Newcastle have been plunged into chaos after two players tested positive for coronavirus.

These two men who have trained with the group on Thursday, were shown to have contracted the virus after tests in the last 24 hours.

The two unnamed players must isolate for 10 days according to Government rules, which will keep them out of the game at St James’ Park, a Europa Conference League match against Vitesse Arnhem and the London derby at West Ham next weekend.

The club are understood to be confident that no other players will have to isolate having come into close contact.

The news will bring more frustration for Nuno, who saw his side suffer in the wake of September’s international fixtures when some squad members returned injured and three South American players went to Croatia for 10 days in order to avoid hard quarantine in England.
