Ben Chilwell 'undergoes another Covid-19 test' as he misses out on England's match against Belgium due to non coronavirus-related illness after 'Rule of Six' breach during birthday party for Tammy Abraham

Ben Chilwell has reportedly undergone a further Covid-19 test after he was prevented from reporting for England duty due to illness.

The left-back missed England's 3-0 victory over Wales after breaking coronavirus protocols after he and Jadon Sancho attended a surprise birthday party for Tammy Abraham.

Despite Chelsea's new £50m signing testing negative for the virus, he was unable to link-up with Gareth Southgate's squad due to a non-Covid related illness.

Now the Daily Mirror have reported that England's medics are taking no chances and have instructed for him to undergo a second test.
