Tottenham Hotspur not happy with Arsenal’s postponement request.
Tottenham Hotspur are angry at Arsenal after the north London rival requested to postpone Sunday’s clash.
Arsenal preparation to face Tottenham this weekend, was cut short as a result of a significant reduction in squad strength due to coronavirus, injury, suspension and the Africa Cup of Nations.
Sky Sports News revealed that the management of Tottenham are not happy with Arsenal’s request for a new date for the game and believe there is no current cases of coronavirus outbreak at Arsenal.
An Arsenal statement read: “We can confirm we have made an application to the Premier League for the postponement of Sunday’s north London derby against Tottenham Hotspur.
“We have reluctantly taken this step but we have many players currently unavailable across our squad as a result of Covid, injuries and players away with their countries at AFCON.
“We will provide more information as soon as it’s available.”
A statement from the Premier League said: “The Premier League has received a postponement request from Arsenal FC relating to their away match against Tottenham Hotspur, due to be played at 4.30pm on Sunday 16 January.
“The Premier League Board will meet tomorrow to review the application and inform both clubs and their fans of its decision.”
