Manager Scott Parker revealed in his press conference on Tuesday he had tested negative on Sunday to ensure he was able to return to the training ground at the start of this week after a period of self-isolation.
The 40-year-old missed the goalless draw with Southampton on Boxing Day after a member of his household tested positive for coronavirus.
Yet with Fulham understood to have a number of tests returning positives results on Tuesday afternoon, the match with Tottenham could now join Manchester City and Everton’s fixture, which had been due to take place on Monday, in being postponed.
