(Reuters) - Manager Thomas Tuchel said Chelsea are not out of the woods yet with a number of COVID-19 cases and injuries depleting the squad before Wednesday's Premier League home game against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Tuchel was forced to give some players more minutes than he should have against Aston Villa on Sunday, as both Romelu Lukaku and Callum Hudson-Odoi returned after missing their last three games due to COVID-19.

Kante came off in the 63rd minute of the Villa clash after appearing to aggravate a knee injury he picked up during their Champions League clash against Juventus in November. "If you speak about central midfield, let's assume N'Golo is out , maybe Ruben is out, so one positive test is enough for the thing to collapse because then Kovacic will play again 90 minutes ... and you risk injuries," Tuchel said.
