EURO 2016 NEWS: Luxembourg Team Falls Victim To Food Poisoning

Sad news for the Luxembourg squad. According to reports, 17 of the 21 players have fallen victim to food poisoning after a team meal last night, according to Bleacher Report.

The team's next Euro 2016 qualifying match was scheduled for Tuesday night against Belarus, but must be pushed back, due to not having enough healthy players, according to BBC Sport.

This is the second time in recent history that a team has fallen victim to food poisoning. Back in 2006, Tottenham Hotspur faced the painful wrath of a meal-gone-bad the night before a crucial match against West Ham for a Champions League spot. West Ham won the match because of the Spurs missing 10 players and ultimately forced them to lose out on a Champions League spot in the Premier League table.

Hopefully, the Luxembourg squad will rebound quickly and continue their quest for EURO 2016 qualification. We aren't sure what they ate, exactly, but they'll most likely stay away from it from now on!
