Chelsea request to have Wolves game postpone is rejected
Chelsea had a request to postpone today's game with Wolves rejected, reports suggest.
It is understood the request was turned down this morning, meaning Chelsea are likely to field a weakened team and have players on the bench that are struggling for fitness after a number of Covid-19 cases in the camp.
Speaking in The Telegraph, a Chelsea spokesperson said: A Chelsea spokesman added: “We are deeply disappointed that our application was rejected as we felt we had a strong case for the postponement of today’s match on the grounds of players’ health and safety.”
On Saturday, five of the six Premier League fixtures were postponed due to Covid, while Everton v Leicester was also postponed today.
