CHELSEA have called off a behind-closed-doors friendly against Drogheda United, due to be played on Thursday night, after a suspected Covid outbreak in the camp. The Blues are in Ireland for a pre-season training camp, with a base at Maynooth's Carton House. But Chelsea have confirmed that the game is off. "Earlier today, we had a possible positive Covid case which we are investigating. Also (it is) decided, as precaution, to cancel tonight's closed doors game against Drogheda," the club said in a statement.
