Tottenham said this week it couldn바카라t play Thursday as scheduled because of its COVID-19 outbreak that also forced the postponement of the team바카라s Premier League 2021-22 match at Brighton on Sunday.
The French club accused Tottenham of making a 바카라unilateral decision바카라 to postpone the game, and UEFA announced early Saturday that the clubs had not been able to agree on a date to reschedule the match. 바카라Unfortunately, despite all efforts, a solution that could work for both clubs could not be found,바카라 UEFA said.
The match is the last of the group stage of the competition, with Tottenham needing a win to finish second in the group. A draw or a loss would eliminate the London club. Rennes has already clinched first place in the group.
UEFA said the game will be referred to its disciplinary body for a ruling 바카라in accordance with Annex J바카라 of its competition regulations. Those regulations state that if a game that was postponed because of Covid-19 cases cannot be rescheduled, the team that couldn바카라t play on the original date will be handed a 3-0 forfeit loss.
Eight Tottenham Hotspur players and five members of staff had tested positive for the coronavirus. The team also closed its training center as a precaution.
