BREAKING! Tuchel confirms fresh two Chelsea players are tested positive for Covid-19
According to fresh reports from Stamford bridge, Chelsea duo N’Golo Kante and Thiago Silva have tested positive for Covid-19 and miss the Blues’ clash against Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg, confirms Thomas Tuchel.
This comes as Tuchel could revert to a possible 4-3-3 formation as they search for a place in the final.
Speaking ahead of Chelsea’s clash at Stamford Bridge, Tuchel confirmed that the Blues duo tested positive for Covid-19.
This comes as a blow to Chelsea, with both players playing crucial roles for their side in recent weeks.
Chelsea are without several first team defenders as Andreas Christensen was a doubt for the match and Trevoh Chalobah was ruled out, leading to Tuchel reverting to a back four.
Kante’s absence sees Saul Niguez come into midfield alongside Mason Mount and Jorginho in a much changed Chelsea side.
Tuchel said: “Unfortunately Thiago Silva and N’Golo Kante, which is key for us. Two important players. We had the information today in the morning so it is quite challenging. We were pushed.”
