Spurs are set to face Ludogorets in the Europa League this week, but a report from Bulgaria says their opponents cannot complete their team.
Spurs will be hoping to rest their key men for that game as they face Chelsea in the Premier League at the weekend.
The Lilywhites will feel that the game is a certain win for them and the current news will make that easier if it is true.
Sportlive.bg is reporting that Ludogorets have problems in their team after two of their key defenders tested positive for coronavirus.
The report claims that their manager, Stanislav Genchev is struggling to get a complete set of players that will travel to London on Wednesday for the game.
The report claims that Josue Sa is injured while two other defenders, Olivier Verdon and Georgi Terziev are positive for covid-19.
It adds that due to the virus infection, the players that can help the club to execute the game remains unclear.
The team is hoping to have enough players to travel with by the end of today before they come to London tomorrow.
With so many problems already, Spurs will likely get an easy win from this game.
Ok, thanks for that.
Mourinho can only play the players from the named EL squad, so if the game goes ahead I don’t think his team plans will change because it’s a patched up Ludogerets side.
The UEFA rules are complex & there’s NO guarantee if called off that Ludogorets will forfeit the match, it could be re-arranged.
Whilst that would be good for this weekend, it would mean an extra match squeezed in before Jan 28th.
Or let the 2nd 11/kids loose on them, if theirs is a makeshift team.
Give us a bye then and move on.
