Chelsea have been one of the clubs massively effected by the coronavirus outbreak.
The Blues confirmed that Callum Hudson-Odoi had tested positive for the virus.
Chelsea shut down their Cobham training ground, while the players and coaching staff have been told to self-isolate.
The FA, Premier League and EFL have collectively agreed to postpone the professional games in England until 3 April at the earliest.
UEFA, meanwhile, announced the Blues’ Champions League last 16-second leg tie at Bayern Munich has also been postponed.
The decision means fixtures may have to be moved beyond June. However, it may grow another uncertainty, as so many players’ contracts run out in June. Thus, it could affect any potential career choices they may have already made.
Chelsea are currently fourth in the Premier League table with 48 points and there are five players in their ranks, whose contract ends in June.
Willy Caballero, 38, is one of the players, whose contract ends in June. The player is unlikely to extend his stay at the club, as the Blues are currently looking for a new goalkeeper. Caballero has made nine appearances this season so far for the Blues after Kepa Arrizabalaga fell out of favour of boss Frank Lampard.
