Thomas Tuchel has admitted he ignored advice from his medical team to only play N'Golo Kante for 45 minutes against Wolves.
The Blues could only draw 0-0 at Molineux on Sunday, with their squad ravaged by a coronavirus outbreak which ripped through the squad, and several injuries to key players.
Kante had only recently returned from a knee injury suffered against Juventus in November and Tuchel was therefore told to limit his game time to just one half of football - but the German kept him on for the entire match.
