Aston Villa have closed their training ground after a "significant" coronavirus outbreak at the club.
Due to take on Liverpool in the FA Cup third round on Friday evening, Tottenham are also due to travel to Villa Park in the coming days with the Premier League clash between the sides taking place on Wednesday evening.
Villa have confirmed in a statement that first team training has been cancelled and discussions are ongoing between the club's medical representatives, the FA and the Premier League.
"Aston Villa can confirm that the Club has closed its Bodymoor Heath training ground after a significant Coronavirus outbreak," read a statement on the club's official website.
"A large number of first team players and staff returned positive tests after being routinely tested on Monday and immediately went into isolation.
"A second round of testing was carried out immediately and produced more positive results today.
"First team training ahead of tomorrow’s FA Cup match with Liverpool was cancelled.
"Discussions are ongoing between medical representatives of the Club, the Football Association and the Premier League."
Tottenham recently had a Premier League game against Fulham postponed following a Covid-19 outbreak at the west London club.
The club only found out about the decision a matter of hours before kick-off and Jose Mourinho had plenty to say about it when speaking to the media.
He is once again likely to be quizzed about the subject when he speaks to the press on Friday afternoon to preview the FA Cup tie against Marine this weekend.
