Spurs UEFA Cup clash in doubt

Tottenham’s UEFA Cup last-16 second leg in Eindhoven could be under threat of being postponed because of industrial action by police in Holland.

Spurs, who trail PSV 1-0 after the first leg at White Hart Lane, are due to play the second leg on Wednesday.

However, a police strike has already resulted in tomorrow’s top-of-the-table Eredivisie encounter between PSV and Ajax being called off, the second fixture in the Dutch league to be hit.

the game between AZ Alkmaar and Feyenoord was postponed by the mayor of Alkmaar, Piet Bruinooge, with Dutch police fighting for better pay and conditions.

Police unions have warned all games for this week could be at risk, including the UEFA Cup tie between PSV and Spurs.
