Tottenham will probably lose 3-0 according to UEFA rules.
UEFA announced Saturday the cancellation of Tottenham's Covid-postponed Europa Conference League game against French team Rennes.
The two clubs were unable to find a suitable date to reschedule Thursday's game and "as a consequence, the match can no longer be played," European football's governing body explained.
UEFA's disciplinary wing will determine a result for the scrapped fixture, and the ruling will be in favor of Rennes, as Tottenham will probably lose 3-0 according to UEFA rules.
The French side had flown to London and accused England's Tottenham of making a "unilateral decision" in calling off the match on Wednesday.
Tottenham coach Antonio Conte revealed on the eve of the game in north London that eight of his players and five members of staff had tested positive for COVID-19.
The team's Premier League match at Brighton on Sunday has also been postponed. Tottenham were forced to close their first-team training center on Wednesday as a result of the severe outbreak.
