The team has three home games before the season is over and it has been confirmed from the Premier League that all the clubs in the league have agreed to play on neutral courts, if their own home ground is given the status that one cannot play matches.
After rumors of the Leicester situation began to falter, manager Brendan Rodgers has spoken out.
– As a football club we are very protected and we are largely in a bubble, Rodgers says Daily Mail.
He has no concern that the increase in the number of infections will affect the team.
The manager, who himself was infected with the virus in March with his wife, further states that “the players are tested twice a week, that they go straight home and that most do not live in the city center”.

Considering quarantine
The situation and possible shutdown are currently considered a hypothetical situation, but the UK government is considering quarantining the English city of Leicester as a result of an increase in coronary cases.
With the suburbs, the city has a population of about half a million. If it is shut down, it is the first time during the pandemic that it is happening in a single area of the UK.
Sunday Times first reported that the authorities are considering isolating the city over the next few days. The reason for this is that 658 new cases of infection have been registered in the Leicester area in the two weeks up to 16 June.
This represents around 25 percent of the city’s total 2,494 cases of infection.
Interior Minister Priti Patel acknowledges the opposite BBC Sunday that the government is considering such a measure.
Sunday, the British announced health Ministry about 311,151 confirmed cases of infection in the UK, up 901 from Saturday. 43,550 people have died with the virus in the country, an increase of 36 last day. The figure includes only patients who died in hospitals and nursing homes and who had tested positive for the coronavirus.
The UK ranks 5th in the world in total confirmed cases of infection.
Losses in the quarterfinals
After a tame and poor football game, Chelsea could cheer for advancement to the FA Cup semi-final with a 1-0 victory over Leicester on Sunday.
Leicester at the same time opened the match strongest, forcing mistakes on the away team, but both goals and great chances were missed.
Youri Tielemans tested Chelsea keeper Willy Caballero after 19 minutes, but the Argentine had pushed the ball over the sideline. Kasper Schmeichel on the other hand had to leave the field with a great save after half-time when Christian Pulisic tried to sneak the ball past the keeper.
