Saul Niguez tests positive for Covid-19 as Chelsea star misses Lille win

Saul Niguez Lille Chelsea UEFA Champions League

Chelsea midfielder Saul Niguez has confirmed he has tested positive for Covid-19. The Spaniard missed Wednesday evening's win in the Champions League round of 16 against Lille.

The Blues loanee took to Twitter to confirm the news. Saul wrote: "Unfortunately we have tested positive for COVID. We are all fine for now, nothing serious. Now it's time to take care of ourselves and improve until we are negative."

This means Saul will likely be missing for Saturday's FA Cup tie with Middlesbrough, but there is a break then until the start of April, where he will hopefully be ready once again.
