Antonio Conte has revealed Tottenham could appeal Uefa's decision to award Rennes a 3-0 win in their postponed Europa Conference League game.

Spurs had nine players with the virus at the time and were forced to pull out of the match.

As a result they have been eliminated from the competition, but Conte says the club could appeal.

"It is not definitive, but there is another step to confirm or not this incredible decision," he said. "We are very, very confident for the next step and I repeat we deserve to play the qualification on the pitch, not in the court. I can't accept this. We are very, very disappointed with Uefa for this decision.

"It's unfair for sure. We deserve to play for qualification on the pitch, not in this way.

"I don't want to understand but I hope in the future, in the next step, something can change because we deserve to play for qualification on the pitch, not in this way. It's not our fault.

"All the world knows we were facing a big problem like Covid We didn't play not through our fault but because we had many players with Covid and the Government decided to stop our training sessions and close our centre.

"They take normal decision, not a decision in our favour. I repeat: it was incredible what Uefa did. Also, in explanation about this defeat, I have read that Tottenham couldn't play the game for Covid cases. I dispute this. But they took this decision.

"Everybody knows the problem. It means maybe someone doesn't know the problem we were having and maybe some personal interests [behind the decision]."
