Thomas Tuchel says Chelsea are 'ANGRY' a request to postpone their trip to Wolves was REJECTED by the Premier League... as boss insists the decision is 'very hard to understand' amid a Covid outbreak that has sidelined SEVEN players

Thomas Tuchel has been left 'a bit angry' after Chelsea saw a request to postpone their trip to Wolves rejected by the Premier League.

Tuchel's side are set to face Wolves at Molineux at 2pm, one of only four fixtures currently scheduled to take place out of 10 this weekend.

Following four consecutive days of positive tests, and with concern for the remaining players, the Blues are made a plea to the league to postpone their trip to Wolverhampton - only to be denied for failing to meet the threshold.

'We are disappointed, we are a bit angry,' Tuchel said pre-match.
