They might not be fully fit for the Champions League game, but it does not make the Blues’ task a lot easier.
Atletico Madrid forwards Joao Felix and Moussa Dembele have tested positive for Covid-19, the Spanish club’s official Twitter account confirms.
They will have to self-isolate a period of 10-14 days due to the standard guidelines for such cases.
The problem for the La Liga leaders is that their Champions League game against Chelsea is scheduled for February 23, in less than 3 weeks.
Even if Felix and Dembele test negative before that (and we wish them speedy recovery), they might not be fully fit to face the Blues.
That said, Luis Suarez is still fit and firing, as he has scored 9 goals in the last 8 La Liga games for Atletico – the Blues are in for a big fight.
