Arsenal's North London derby with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League has been postponed.

The Gunners only have one confirmed coronavirus case in the form of Martin Odegaard but are dealing with a wealth of absentees due to injury, suspension and the Africa Cup of Nations.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Thomas Partey, Nicolas Pepe and Mohamed Elneny are away on international duty, while Granit Xhaka is serving a two-game ban following his sending off at Liverpool.

In addition to Takehiro Tomiyasu, Emile Smith Rowe and Sead Kolasinac's existing injuries, Cedric Soares, Bukayo Saka, Kieran Tierney and Calum Chambers all picked up knocks in the EFL Cup in midweek.

A statement from the Premier League read: "Following a request from Arsenal FC, the Premier League Board met today and regrettably agreed to postpone the club's away fixture against Tottenham Hotspur, due to be played at 4:30pm on Sunday 16 January.

"With Arsenal having fewer than the required number of players available for the match (13 outfield players and one goalkeeper), the Board accepted the club's application. The decision is a result of a combination of COVID-19, existing and recent injuries and players on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations. All clubs are able to apply for a postponement if COVID-19 infections are a factor in their request.

"The League apologises for the inconvenience and disruption caused to supporters who would have attended or watched the game - we are fully aware that postponements disappoint clubs and fans.

"The League aims to provide as much clarity as possible, but unfortunately postponements sometimes have to be made at short notice, as safety is our priority. Where possible, the League will endeavour to keep supporters updated if games become at risk.

"The Premier League's postponement rules are designed to protect the wellbeing of players and staff, while maintaining the sporting integrity of the competition. Club requests are assessed on a case-by-case basis, based on existing rules and adapted COVID-19 postponement guidance, implemented in light of the Omicron variant.

"The Board examines a number of factors, including the ability of a club to field a team; the status, severity and potential impact of COVID-19; and the ability of the players to safely prepare for and play the match. The detail within all applications is scrutinised by the League's specialist staff before the Board makes its decision."

A new date for the game will be confirmed in due course. body check tags ::
