Chelsea: Jorginho hands Thomas Tuchel boost with false positive Covid test

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has been given some welcome news after Jorginho's Covid test was a false positive, making him available for selection for their Carabao Cup quarter-final clash at Brentford.

The Blues reported seven positive coronavirus tests ahead of their Premier League clash with Wolves on Sunday and the club wanted the match to be postponed as a result.

The top flight turned down their request as they ruled that Chelsea had enough fit players to fulfil the match.
