LONDON (Reuters) - Chelsea forward Kai Havertz has returned a negative COVID-19 result and is back in training a day after four team mates tested positive, manager Thomas Tuchel said on Friday as he branded the current situation a lottery.

Chelsea announced before Thursday's 1-1 draw with Everton that Romelu Lukaku, Timo Werner, Callum Hudson-Odoi and the injured Ben Chilwell had tested positive nL1N2T12K4 for COVID-19 while Havertz missed the game because he was unwell.
