Tottenham home game in Europa League delayed because of 'severe travel disruption'

The start of a Europa League game between Tottenham and Qarabag was delayed because of a “severe travel disruption,” the Premier League club said.

UEFA said the delay was “due to a late team arrival.” The match was scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. local time.

It was the club from Azerbaijan that had problems trying to reach Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in north London.

It was not immediately clear when the match could begin. Tottenham's statement said: “Kick off for tonight’s fixture has been delayed due to severe travel disruption. Further information to follow.”
