<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">He informed to the media on Friday lunchtime that Denmark international Christensen has been sidelined due to a positive test and will be placed in isolation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Mateo Kovacic, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Romelu Lukaku, and Timo Werner have all had to isolate in recent weeks as a result of positive Covid tests in Tuchel&#8217;s squad.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">For Wednesday&#8217;s 1-0 Carabao Cup semi-final second-leg success against Tottenham, the Blues had only just managed a clean coronavirus slate.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Chelsea barely survived two days without any Covid absentees when Thiago Silva and N&#8217;Golo Kante returned from their isolation to take a seat on the bench in north London in midweek.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Chelsea manager Tuchel compared Covid-19 testing to catching fish, with a slew of players still finding their feet after extended spells and some already gone.</span></p>
