Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel: Not postponing games for Covid-19 is a safety risk
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said on Saturday he wants everyone to "play under the same rules" when it comes to deciding how things will progress.
Having stressed the importance of the league completing the season, the Premier League - and UK government - has urged footballersLatest figures, published in October, said 68% of the English top-flight's players had received two doses. After Sunday's draw which left his side six points behind leaders Manchester City, Tuchel said Chelsea players and staff are concerned about having to travel as a group for games when there has been an outbreak of cases.
"We were struggling with the preparation because we had several consecutive days with positive Covid tests and then we travelled together for three hours with the team, we had dinner together and had another positive test with Jorginho," he added. "People are worried because they were on the same bus and had the same dinner. Obviously it was not enough to postpone the match and we had to play. But you cannot demand 100% focus otherwise it would be stupid to normally focus if you can do this without being calm. It was everything else but calm."
