Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner was not included in the team that played against Everton in the 1-1 at Stamford Bridge, both player are tested positive for Covid-19 and they will be on isolation. those are not the only player that was out due to Covid-19, Callum Hudson-Odoi was also tested positive, Kai Havertz was also included in the list but after severL test he was declared negative for the Virus. There has been heavy number of Covid-19 cases in the English Premier league and it has made several team to miss some games.
The likes of Tottenham and Manchester United has missed 2 games because of this Virus and it may results in halting the league as it was last season if the cases keep increasing. There is possibility of Postponing Chelsea game also as Wolverhampton which is Chelsea next meeting on Sunday are having six player Currently on the Covid list and test is still ongoing to know if there are more cases.
Matteo Kovacic and Ngolo Kante is set to return in the Sunday game since Frello Jorginho is still suffering from back injury and Reuben Loftus-Cheek had an injury in the Everton game which make him not certain for the Sunday game.
Chelsea looks very likely to struggle without them. I don't think the false 9 formations being the only available strategy to go with is enough for the club to continue harvesting results. With a team like Chelsea, I would usually say they shouldn't worry, but they have City and Liverpool to worry about.
