Tottenham's pre-season friendly against Leicester is CANCELLED due to heavy rain in Thailand leaving puddles on the pitch

Tottenham’s pre-season friendly against Leicester in Bangkok was called off after torrential pre-match downpour left the pitch unplayable.

The heavens opened an hour before kick-off and the rain poured down relentlessly as the two teams warmed up, huge puddles forming on the pitch and the perimeter running track at the Rajamangala National Stadium.

Once the players returned to the sanctuary of the dressing room, about 30 minutes later, three people dashed out with a couple of squeegee mops came out to try and remove some of the standing water. Two more emerged to repaint the white lines washed away.
