Following Hudson-Odoi’s positive coronavirus test, Chelsea took measures by partially closing their training facilities. Consequently, Saturday’s scheduled Premier League meeting with Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge is now likely to be postponed.
Additionally, the Blues have cancelled Frank Lampard’s usual pre-match news conference, with the entire men’s squad, coaching staff, and backroom staff expected to join Hudson-Odoi in self-isolation.
The 19-year-old Hudson-Odoi is the first Premier League player publicly confirmed to have contracted the virus, which has infected at least 596 individuals and resulted in 10 deaths in the UK. Several other Premier League teams have sent players into self-isolation, with Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers confirming that 3 players had shown symptoms.
