[엑스포츠뉴스 김정현 인턴기자] The fear of Corona 19 is reappearing in the UK.
British The Athletic reported on the 30th (Korean time) that Tottenham Hotspur’s 16th round opponent in Fulham, a player and a staff member, had been tested positive for Corona 19.
The two teams are facing a confrontation in round 16 at Tottenham Hotspur on the 31st. Fulham previously missed the 15th round due to a confirmed case in his family by coach Scott Parker.
The Premier League secretariat said that in a recent corona 19 test, the largest number of 18 confirmed cases occurred after the corona 19 pandemic. The previous record was 16 confirmed cases in the 11th round.
Currently, confirmed cases have been found in Manchester City, Fulham and West Broomwich Albion. After the 16th round match between Everton and Manchester City was canceled, the Tottenham and Fulham matches are also unclear.

It is known that there are no corona 19 confirmed cases in Tottenham yet, but as the match between Everton and Man City was canceled, the Fulham match also fell into the fog.
