LONDON (AP) — The coronavirus dominated the English League Cup schedule Tuesday as West Ham played despite its coach and two players having tested positive, while Tottenham’s game was called off.
West Ham said manager David Moyes and players Issa Diop and Josh Cullen only found out their test results after they had arrived at the London Stadium to play against Hull. Diop and Cullen had been named in the starting lineup.
“The manager and both players immediately left the stadium and have returned home,” West Ham said. “All three, who are asymptomatic, will now follow Public Health England and Premier League guidelines and protocols.
