[ad_1]

Wolves forward Fabio Silva and centre-back Yerson Mosquera have tested positive for coronavirus.

On the other hand, South Korean forward Hwang Hee-chan, who is on loan from RB Leipzig, is pending to be ruled out of the pending match against Chelsea following the injury he sustained in their last clash against Brighton that saw them carry the day after winning 1-0, a goal scored by Moroccan player Romain Saïss.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are waiting for the results of the Covid-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests before inviting Chelsea to their Molineux Stadium on December 18, 2021.

Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel, has confirmed that Mateo Kovacic and N’Golo Kante are available to play after being sidelined following isolation due to Covid-19 for Kovacic and a knee injury for Kante, sustained during a past Champions League match against Juventus that saw Chelsea thrash the 2019 Serie A champions 4-0.

Earlier on, Tuchel heaped praises to Kante for his outstanding skills in the game, saying that he is one of the best midfielders any coach would admire and want to be on his team.

“We’re always worried when we have to live and play without N’Golo because he’s an exceptional player all over the world. This is my personal opinion. You can’t find a second N’Golo,” Tuchel said.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek will be missing out after an injury picked during the Everton draw, while Jorginho is not yet set to be included in the starting team because of a recurring back problem.

Kai Havertz has embarked on training after testing negative for Covid-19 to cover up for Romelu Lukaku, Timo Werner, and Callum Hudson-Odoi who are at coronavirus isolation.
