According to Spanish outlet AS, Ancelotti is fine but is still returning positive tests for Coronavirus so could potentially be forced to sit out of the trip to Stamford Bridge.

The Italian’s son, Davide, was in charge o the league’s fixture with Celta Vigo and could well be at the reins again, should his father not be able to travel.
