Chelsea forward Kai Havertz has gone into self-isolation
after testing positive for the coronavirus.
Havertz’s Covid-19 test was revealed after the German was
missing from Chelsea’s squad for their Champions League clash with
Rennes at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.
“Frank Lampard has confirmed Kai Havertz has tested positive for
Covid-19,” a statement on Chelsea’s website said.

“As a consequence the player is now undergoing a period of
self-isolation and is not involved in tonight’s Champions League
game versus Rennes.”
Havertz has endured a difficult start to his time at Chelsea
since joining from Bayer Leverkusen in the close-season.
The 21-year-old has scored just one goal in the Premier League,
struggling to reach his peak form after being used in a variety of
positions by Blues boss Frank Lampard.
