Tottenham's nightmare Europa League scenario as Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's potential role explored

Here is your Tottenham morning digest for Thursday, August 6.

Nightmare Europa League scenario

Tottenham Hotspur's involvement in the Europa League qualifying stages could be forfeited should Britain restrict travel from the country of the team they are playing, according to new UEFA rules.

UEFA have approved a new set of rules to "guarantee as much as possible the start and continuity of the qualifying phase and play-offs of the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League and 2020/21 UEFA Europa League".

The football felt the new rules were "justified by the current environment created by the COVID-19 pandemic and in particular, the various travel restrictions which have been imposed across the continent due to the persistence of the sanitary crisis."

The Times states that Spurs do not have any interest in signing the winger, who was heavily linked with a move to the other side of North London last year.
