Update:
Tottenham Hotspur made the decision to request a postponement of the game against Rennes due to a rise in covid-19 cases amongst the team. Initially, Rennes refused to acknowledge it but UEFA later confirmed the decision.
A new date could not be confirmed and UEFA decided that the game would not be played, eliminating Tottenham from the Europa Conference League. Their final game was awarded as a forfeit and 3-0 win for Rennes.
This puts Spurs at third in their group and their European run is officially over.
