The Premier League has announced it has "no plans" to pause the season and "continues to have confidence in its Covid-19 protocols to enable fixtures to be played as scheduled".

Wednesday night's match between Tottenham and Fulham was postponed after a coronavirus outbreak at the west London club.

The Cottagers returned a number of positive test results on Tuesday and, after more came in on Wednesday, the Premier League decided to call the match off less than three hours before the scheduled 6pm kick-off.

Fulham confirmed the postponement followed "a number of the club's players and first-team staff returning positive results from the most recent Covid-19 tests this week".

It added: "This decision follows discussions with the Premier League and advice from Public Health England.

"Those players and staff who tested positive have been self-isolating in line with UK Government and Premier League guidance.

"We wish the players and staff who tested positive a safe and speedy recovery."
