Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has confirmed Kai Havertz has tested positive for COVID-19.

The German was omitted from Chelsea's squad for the Champions League clash with Rennes on Wednesday.

"Kai has tested positive for Covid in the testing going into this game so he has come away from the squad, he is in isolation as the doctor's orders are and we move on," said Lampard. "He isolates for that period and we are wishing him well.

"We are taking the precautions we take. Everybody has been tested, the whole squad since, and we have had negative tests, and hopefully it is a case of taking Kai out, everyone is negative and we move on in the short-term."
