‘Hard to trace’ cause of Spurs bug

TOTTENHAM’S club doctor insists it will be incredibly difficult to track down the cause of the food poisoning which damaged their Champions League hopes.

Ten Spurs players were struck down with suspected food poisoning at the club’s team hotel in Canary Wharf, east London, prior to their final game of the season against West Ham at Upton Park on Sunday.

Spurs wanted to delay the game but that was vetoed by the Premier League and the police.
