“People are worried because they have been on the same bus and have been having dinner together. This was not enough to postpone the game and we had to play, but you can’t ask the boys that are concentrated at 100% “, added the German.
Jorginho’s positive joins the from Ben Chilwell, Romelu Lukaku, Timo Werner and Callum Hudson-Odoi this week.
“Also, today at 8: 30 in the morning they have knocked on our doors at the hotel to do a new test that we had not been notified of. They haven’t let us sleep. I can’t tell you about other games, only mine. It has not been safe. I would not be surprised if we have more positives in the next tests.
” I do not care much about the next matches, I only care about the following tests and the health of the players. Today Kovacic had to play half an hour after ten days in which he has been with COVID. Who takes responsibility for that. Kanté had only trained one day, Chalobah, two ”, added the German.
