Chelsea have been unable to turn to the talents of master tactician Thomas Tuchel for the FIFA Club World Cup thus far.
The German was forced into self-isolation having tested positive for Covid-19 ahead of the squad's flight out to Dubai.
As a result, the former Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund head coach missed the 1-0 victory over Al-Hilal in the semi-finals - Romelu Lukaku's solitary goal being enough to see the Blues book a date with Brazilian outfit Palmeiras.
