Arsenal Women's North London derby clash with Tottenham Hotspur Ladies in the Women's Super League has been postponed due to COVID-19.
Rehanne Skinner's side were due to face Chelsea in midweek, but the capital clash was also called off as Tottenham reported a cluster of coronavirus cases within the camp.
There was uncertainty surrounding the proposed meeting at the Emirates on Saturday, and both clubs have now confirmed that the game will not go ahead as scheduled.
Tottenham said in a statement: "Tottenham Hotspur Women can confirm that our Barclays FA Women's Super League (WSL) fixture, on Saturday 26 March at 2.15pm, has been postponed following an FA meeting this morning (Friday).
"The Club requested the match to be rearranged following a significant number of positive COVID-19 cases within the squad. The FA took the decision to postpone the game following guidance from medical advisers, with the health of players and staff the priority. The fixture will be rescheduled in due course.
"We should like to apologise to everyone at Arsenal and Chelsea and to both their supporters and ours for any inconvenience caused. We should also like to thank both clubs for their understanding during these challenging times."
WSL leaders Arsenal - who drew 1-1 with Wolfsburg in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final in midweek - currently sit four places and 12 points above Spurs in the table having played a game more.
