Chelsea's Kante to miss Juventus trip due to COVID-19, says Tuchel

The Hindu  

Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante will not be involved in Wednesday's Champions League group game at Juventus after testing positive for COVID-19, manager Thomas Tuchel said on Tuesday. Kante's positive test is another blow for Tuchel as the Premier League side is also without winger Christian Pulisic, midfielder Mason Mount and full back Reece James due to injuries. Tuchel accepted teams would be more motivated to play Chelsea as the side is the defending European champion but stopped short of labelling his squad as the favourite for the title. RELATED| Juventus has struggled to get going after Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Manchester United and the Italian side sits 10th in Serie A -- 10 points behind leader Napoli -- but Tuchel said he expects the team to recover under Massimiliano Allegri.
