Tottenham Hotspur are now potentially facing another delay in building their new ground.

According to the Daily Mail, Tottenham Hotspur’s players are all under the impression that they will be playing at the new stadium this season.

Spurs had hoped to move into their new ground for the start of this campaign, but constant delays mean that they are still playing at Wembley.

Tottenham will now reportedly not be moving into the new stadium until March at the very earliest.

Spurs had wanted to open the stadium against Crystal Palace, but Roy Hodgson’s side will be scheduled to play an FA Cup match that weekend now, if they make it through to the next round.

An announcement on the progress of the ground is expected to be made next week, but Tottenham’s players are expecting it to be positive.

Spurs’ squad still think that they won’t spend the whole of the season at Wembley, although they have not been told a move-in date.

However, doubts are reportedly creeping in over whether Tottenham will indeed play at their new home at all this term.

Spurs may only have the stadium built in time for the final four league matches of the campaign, and there are fears that the Premier League won’t be keen on letting Mauricio Pochettino’s switch home grounds so late on in the campaign.

If Tottenham are unable to play at their new ground at all this season it will be a frustration for players and supporters alike, with everyone around the club hoping for the ground to be sorted sooner rather than later now.
