London: Callum Hudson-Odoi of Chelsea FC has been tested positive for coronavirus, the Premier League club confirmed on Friday.
The club has also said that the personnel who had recent close contact with the player in the men's team building will now self-isolate in line with UK's health guidelines.
Full men's team squad, coaching staff and a number of backroom staff are the ones who will remain in self-isolation.
"It is expected that those who did not have close contact with Callum will return to work in the coming days. In the meantime, the men's team building, one of several separate buildings at our training ground, will remain closed. The rest of our training facility, Stamford Bridge and our other facilities are operating as normal," Chelsea FC said in an official statement.
The club revealed that Callum had displayed symptoms similar to a mild cold on Monday morning and had not been at the training ground since then as a precaution.
