Thomas Tuchel Chelsea Club World Cup Palmeiras Abu Dhabi Club World Cup Final Al-Hilal Covid-19

Thomas Tuchel has arrived in Abu Dhabi as Chelsea prepare for their match against Palmeiras in the Club World Cup Final.

The Blues boss has missed Chelsea's last two games against Al-Hilal, in the semi-final of the competition, and Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup after testing positive for Covid-19 ahead of the game at Stamford Bridge.

The German coach was required to test negative before being able to travel to Abu Dhabi for the tournament, but is also required to pass a PCR test upon entering the United Arab Emirates. The Blues boss arrived at the squad hotel via a side entrance and is able to quarantine there while waiting for this result.
