Tuchel admitted Chelsea’s enforced selection plans will ‘go against our nature’ for the League Cup quarter-final encounter.

“We planned now a squad and we had some plans with Lewis Baker, from the academy, and now he’s tested positive,” said Tuchel.

“So we can now start from scratch, and this is what we do right now. We’ve delayed training until late afternoon. Right now we will prepare for the match to be played.

“But even to plan training is pretty exciting because until the very last hour you don’t know how many players will arrive.

“Right now every day we do lateral flow tests and PCR tests, and only then you are allowed to be in the building.

“So this is the first lottery: you go to work and you don’t know if you can make it to your office. jamb result

“Which is good, because then it’s safe, at least for this day. And the next day you get tested again.

“But if you test so much you always find the risk of another positive. And that can really make things worse than they already are.”

Chelsea will again be without the raft of players who missed Sunday’s goalless Premier League draw at Wolves due to coronavirus isolation.

A frustrated Tuchel lamented having to rest N’Golo Kante due to his recent knee issue, with Trevoh Chalobah and Andreas Christensen further injury doubts.

Jorginho will return having tested negative for COVID after inconclusive previous results, which will ease Tuchel’s midfield options.

But Kai Havertz, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Romelu Lukaku, Timo Werner, Callum Hudson-Odoi, and Ben Chilwell will all again be missing.

Chelsea were ‘deeply disappointed’ to have their request to postpone Sunday’s match at Wolves rejected, but since then the Premier League has opted not to pause the schedule.

While Tuchel understands the decision to press on, he also bemoaned having to step into a quarter-final with a severely depleted squad.

“We are fighting for every competition and I absolutely don’t like judging the importance of games because you can never tell what it does to you,” said Tuchel.
