Havertz positive for COVID-19

COVID-19 continues to shake football. To the many positives in the European Champions League and Europa League match, Now we must add that of Kai Havertz. This was made known by Chelsea, who through a brief statement reported the absence of the German footballer, an hour before their confrontation against French Rennes.

“Frank Lampard has confirmed that Kai Havertz has tested positive for COVID-19. Due to this, the player is in a period of isolation and will not be available for tonight's Champions League match against Rennes“, said the English club through its social networks. Something that also affects the German team, since they will not be able to summon him for their respective continental commitments in the next break.

On the other hand, since its millionaire transfer this past summer market, from Bayer Leverkusen after payment of 80 million euros, Havertz had been a participant in all Chelsea matches, staying only once without dressing short (in the defeat of the 'blues' against Tottenham in the English Cup). In addition, of the nine games he has registered with Londoners, all of them have started. Among them, a total of four goals, with a hat-trick, and three assists. A jewel that Lampard wants to polish by giving it prominence.
