Four Chelsea players confirmed to have tested positive for Covid-19

Four Chelsea players have tested positive for coronavirus ahead of their fixture against Everton.

Romelu Lukaku, Timo Werner and Callum Hudson-Odoi have all been left out of the team-sheet to play the Toffees on Thursday night after returning positive tests.

The west Londoners already have Mateo Kovacic in isolation after he tested positive for Covid last week - with Thomas Tuchel's plans serious disrupted for the Stamford Bridge clash.

Ben Chilwell, who is currently out with a knee injury, has also returned a positive test.

Kai Havertz meanwhile has been left out of the squad, as he awaits test results.
