Crisis-hit Tottenham have been rocked by another Covid-19 outbreak, according to reports, with one first-team player testing positive and their Under-23s team also being hit hard by cases.

In another significant blow for the club and manager Antonio Conte ahead of their scheduled clash against Leicester on Thursday night, Spurs may now have as few as 13 players to work with.

The fresh setback comes after their Europa Conference League tie against Rennes and top-flight trip to Brighton were both called off – with eight first-team stars, nine members of staff and a handful of youth players having tested positive.

And today, The Telegraph have delivered the latest bombshell. The identity of the most recent player to have returned a positive result is not known, however.
