Chelsea assistant coach Zsolt Low remains hopeful Thomas Tuchel will be able to join up with the first-team squad ahead of tomorrow's Club World Cup final against Abu Dhabi.
Tuchel tested positive for Covid last Friday and had to enter self-isolation. It meant the German missed the FA Cup win over Plymouth, the flight out to UAE on Saturday night, and Wednesday's semi-final victory over Al Hilal.
The Chelsea head coach has continued to oversee preparations via video conferences and phone calls and is desperate to make the final against Brazilian side Palmeiras, which kicks off at 4.30pm UK time.
