BREAKING: Chelsea’s Havertz Confirmed #COVID-19 Positive, Misses Game – #CHEREN—-21-year old Chelsea midfielder, Kai Havertz has been confirmed positive for coronavirus according to head coach Frank Lampard
The German international player which joined Chelsea from Bayer Leverkusen in September, has gone into isolation, thus missing the Wednesday game against Renne.
“It’s significant because he’s tested positive for Covid in the testing going into this game,” Lampard told BT Sport.
“So he’s come away from the squad, he’s in isolation as the doctor’s orders are and we move on. He isolates for that period and we’re wishing him well at home.
“Everybody has been tested as a whole squad since and we have negative tests, so it’s hopefully a case of we’re taking, everyone is negative and we move on in the short term.”
Havertz’s positive test comes just hours before England goes into a four-week lockdown, during which elite sport has been given the green light to continue.
