German head coach Tuchel confirmed that Kante has gone into self-isolation after his positive diagnosis, which means he will also miss Chelsea’s next Premier League game against Southampton on Saturday afternoon.
After confirming Kante’s diagnosis, Tuchel took questions on whether footballers should get vaccinated and set an example for others.
