Thomas Tuchel brands the Premier League UNSAFE after his Chelsea side were forced to turn up at Wolves despite having reported seven positive Covid cases this week

Thomas Tuchel has hit out at the Premier League for making his Chelsea side play against Wolves despite seven positive coronavirus cases at the club, branding the decision as unsafe.

On a weekend where the majority of Premier League matches were called off due to Covid outbreaks at multiple clubs, the Blues applied to the top-flight to get their game postponed due to the outbreak, but it was rejected by league bosses.

Tuchel's Chelsea named a depleted squad in their 0-0 draw at Molineux, putting out just four outfield players on their substitutes' bench and defender Trevoh Chalobah in midfield.
