Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic is isolating after testing positive for Covid-19 ahead of their final Champions League group game at Zenit St Petersburg while four other players are out injured, manager Thomas Tuchel said yesterday.

Kovacic, who has five league assists, was back in contention for the first time since October after a thigh injury ruled the Croatia international out of Chelsea's last eight games in all competitions.

"I was aware that this could happen and I'm not happy about it, not only as a manager but as a person. But this is what reality is at the moment, so we have to be ready to adapt and secure people's health."Kai Havertz limped off at halftime during their 3-2 Premier League defeat at West Ham United at the weekend, but the German was back in training yesterday.

"Due to injuries in some positions, like central midfield, we struggle, but the game tomorrow is not a problem in terms of being overloaded," Tuchel added.
