Chelsea have named just four outfield players on the substitutes' bench for Sunday's Premier League match at Wolverhampton Wanderers after a number of positive coronavirus cases.

On Sunday morning, the Blues asked the Premier League to postpone the game at Molineux with reports suggesting that the number of players to test positive for coronavirus now sits at seven.

However, that request was rejected, and it has forced Thomas Tuchel to name just four outfield players as replacements, the most notable absentees from the squad being Andreas Christensen, Jorginho, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Kai Havertz.

Tuchel had already confirmed earlier this week that Ben Chilwell, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku had tested positive, and it is still to be confirmed which other players have followed suit.

N'Golo Kante and Trevoh Chalobah both start in midfield in what are the only two changes to the team which were named in the first XI for Thursday's game with Everton.

Meanwhile, Wolves have made three alterations, Ki-Jana Hoever, Leander Dendoncker and Raul Jimenez replacing Nelson Semedo, Hwang Hee-chan and Adama Traore respectively.

Wolverhampton Wanderers: Sa; Kilman, Coady, Saiss; Hoever, Dendoncker, Neves, Moutinho, Marcal; Jimenez, Podence
Subs: Moulden, Ruddy, Jordao, Trincao, Semedo, Traore, Cundle, Bueno

Chelsea: Mendy; Azpilicueta, Silva, Rudiger; James, Kante, Chalobah, Alonso; Mount, Ziyech; Pulisic
Subs: Arrizabalaga, Bettinelli, Sarr, Kovacic, Saul, Kovacic body check tags ::
