Fans of Chelsea FC and the United States Men’s National Team received some startling news this morning, as Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel confirmed that Christian Pulisic has tested positive for Covid-19. Pulisic had trained with the team on Tuesday, but has been been absent since then. He now has to isolate for 10 days according to British protocols.
“Christian...he had a positive test and needs to follow the protocols so he was not in training and not available for the game,” Tuchel said during a pre-match press conference ahead of Chelsea’s match against Arsenal FC tomorrow at the Emirates.
