Stephen Robinson: Morecambe boss to miss FA Cup tie at Tottenham after positive Covid test

Morecambe manager Stephen Robinson will miss his side's FA Cup third round tie against Tottenham on Sunday after testing positive for Covid-19.

Morecambe's assistant manager Diarmuid O'Carroll will take charge of the team against the Premier League side.

The Shrimps, who won at non-league Buxton in round two, are 19th in League One, a point above the relegation zone.

Tottenham head into the tie looking to bounce back from their 2-0 Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg defeat at Chelsea on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Bristol Rovers manager Joey Barton will also miss his side's third round tie with Peterborough after a positive Covid test.
