Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel has tested positive for Covid-19 and will not be in the dugout for this afternoon's FA Cup fourth-round tie against Plymouth Argyle.
The German – who undertook his pre-match duties yesterday and oversaw first-team training – has entered self-isolation and will be absent for the clash at Stamford Bridge.
There are now doubts as to whether Tuchel will be able to travel to the Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi. The Blues head out to the UAE after today's game and their first match in the competition is on Wednesday. If Chelsea win that, there will be a final to play next Saturday.
