Kai Havertz has tested positive for the dreaded coronavirus according to the Chelsea manager Frank Lampard who disclosed this on Wednesday, November 4.

The Premier League club announced the information on social media hours before their Champions League clash against French club Rennes at the Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea who have managed to get 4 points from two Champions League games this season will play the game against Rennes without the 21-year-old.

Chelsea confirmed the development in a tweet:

And this is coming barely 24-hours that the entire UK will be going into a fresh one month lockdown which will be imposed from the early hours of November 5, lasting until December 2.

There is continued rise in coronavirus cases in the country and the government is taking fresh measures to curb the spread.

The UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson made fresh announcements as regards the new set of guidelines similar to the one that was adopted when the country went into total lockdown earlier in the year, but has given a go-ahead for the Premier League to continue.

Jadon Sancho has continued to justify why he is being wanted by top Premier League sides following his recent performance for Dortmund, Daily Mail.

The England international became the youngest player to reach 50 assists in the Bundesliga in less than 100 games.

Dortmund were 3-0 winners over Arminia Bielefeld and Sancho provided Mahmoud Dahoud's assist for their team's first goal.

It took the Englishman 20 years and 339 days to reach the milestone and he deservedly got a goal of his own to double the advantage for the Yellow Canaries.

On loan Real Madrid star Reinier rounded off the scoring in the 81st minute after a well-organized counter-attacking move started by Sancho as the final pass was delivered by Erling Haaland.

Sancho reached the landmark in his 99th game for Dortmund and made it his 11th Bundesliga assist of the campaign in 21 matches.

He also scored his sixth Bundesliga goal and 36th overall from a spot-kick after Amos Pieper fouled team captain Marco Reus.

Sancho was strongly lined to Premier League side Man United last summer but the move failed to materialize.
