Thomas Tuchel has had 3 press conferences in the last 4 days, and in all of them the subject of potential fixture cancellations has come up.
He always swats away the question as you’d expect, by saying he’s just a coach and these large scale political matters aren’t really for him to decide.
“I know the rules now” he admitted, but insisted he had no sway in what the club and the Premier League decide to do.
However, with another game called off today, and two further positive cases reported in the Chelsea camp, things may be taken out of his hands entirely.
