Chelsea have cancelled a pre-season friendly following a coronavirus scare.

The Blues were set to face Irish side Drogheda United as part of their pre-season trip to Dublin on Thursday night.

But the match was cancelled just hours before kick-off after a possible case of Covid-19 within the group.

"Earlier today, we had a possible positive Covid case which we are investigating," said a Chelsea spokesperson.

"The individual has been isolated from the rest of the group. We also decided, as a precaution, to cancel tonight's behind closed doors game against Drogheda."
