Several Chelsea players test positive for Covid-19: Reports
Several Chelsea players have not returned for pre-season training after testing positive for Covid-19, reported the British media.
The reports did not name the players and Chelsea did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Players who test positive have to self isolate for 10 days and return a negative coronavirus test before they can take part in training.
Sheffield United, Brighton & Hove Albion and West Ham United were among the other English Premier League clubs to report positive Covid-19 cases in recent weeks, the Times said.
