Tuchel keeps his word
Friday had been a normal day for Thomas Tuchel. The Chelsea head coach had overseen first-team training at Cobham, had ensured his side were prepared for the visit of Plymouth in the FA Cup, and undertook his pre-match press conference duties.
He was in good spirits, refreshed by the week off he had enjoyed at home during the international break. But then Tuchel discovered he had tested positive for Covid and in an instant, his itinerary for the forthcoming week was changed.
