Chelsea’s huge WSL match against London rivals Tottenham has been postponed due to a number of Covid-19 cases in the Spurs squad.
The game was called off just over three hours before kick-off was scheduled, in what was due to be an extremely important much for both sides.
Chelsea would have gone top with a win on Wednesday night, with Emma Hayes’ side currently trailing league leaders Arsenal by two points with a game in hand.
Tottenham meanwhile will still be targeting a top-three spot and Champions League qualification. They currently sit fifth, four points behind Manchester United in third who have played a game more.
No new date for the fixture has yet been confirmed.
A statement said: “Chelsea FC can confirm that tonight’s fixture against Tottenham Hotspur Women will be rescheduled.
“The decision was agreed between both teams and the FA after a number of positive tests for Covid-19 were returned within the Tottenham Hotspur team set-up after the last round of testing.
“A revised date for the match will be confirmed in due course. All existing tickets to remain valid.”
