The club have also informed that the men’s team and the coaching staff will undergo isolation as they, in all likelihood, came in contact with Hudson-Odoi before he was tested positive.
“Chelsea personnel who had recent close contact with the player in the men’s team building will now self-isolate in line with Government health guidelines. These will include initially the full men’s team squad, coaching staff and a number of backroom staff,” the club said in an official statement.
The club have also informed that the men’s team building at the training facility will be closed whereas the rest of the facility and the Stamford Bridge will operate as normal.
Earlier, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was tested positive before the club closed their training ground. Meanwhile, the club staff who had recent contact with Arteta will now self-isolate.
“This is really disappointing but I took the test after feeling poorly. I will be at work as soon as I’m allowed,” said Arteta as quoted by club’s official website.
