WSL: Birmingham's game at Tottenham Hotspur called off due to injuries

Birmingham, who are seventh in the 12-team WSL standings level on nine points with eighth-placed Tottenham and have a game in hand, said they would work with Spurs and the FA to reach a satisfactory conclusion over the outcome of the match. Birmingham had asked the FA to postpone the match under the competition's epidemic rule but the request was denied as it was an injury-related issue.

Birmingham City's Women's Super League (WSL) game at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday has been called off because the visitors have a shortage of players due to injuries.

"We are aware of the ramifications of this decision but contest that we are also bound by an obligation to preserve our players' health and safety, above all else," Birmingham said in a statement.

"We are keen to reiterate that this is not a decision we have made without full consideration but are certain that it is the correct, one given our severe circumstances."
