Tottenham have been eliminated from the Europa Conference League after UEFA confirmed their postponed fixture against Rennes would be deemed as a forfeit.
The clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was due to be played on December 9 but was called off after a Covid-19 outbreak among the Spurs squad.
UEFA had already stated the fixture would not be replayed and their latest ruling sees Antonio Conte’s side lose the game 3-0 via forfeit, meaning they finish third in Group G.
A victory would have seen Spurs leapfrog second-placed Vitesse Arnhem to reach the knockout stages of the third-tier European competition.
