Chelsea will reportedly train in Russia ahead of their Champions League clash with Krasnodar despite concerns over coronavirus in the country.

The Mail cites reports from Russia claiming that some cities are seeing ‘bodies pile up in morgues’.

Indeed, German outlet Bild claims Bayern Munich have opted against training in Russia ahead of their clash with Lokomotiv Moscow tomorrow.

That means they will hold a final training session at their base in Germany before jetting to Russia’s capital for just the game.

However, Chelsea will take a chartered five-hour flight to Russia ahead of their game on Wednesday.

They will leave at 9.30am but due to the five-hour flight and three-hour time difference they will not arrive before tea-time and go straight to the stadium.

According to the report, officials from Chelsea have visited the stadium and the team’s hotel and they are satisfied that all the UEFA and Premier League coronavirus protocols are being followed.
