Emma Hayes will be without Ann-Katrin Berger and Drew Spence for Thursday’s Uefa Women’s Champions League clash with Wolfsburg after the pair tested positive for Covid-19.
A goalless draw with Juventus in their last European match means the Blues, who lost to Reading on the weekend, could be knocked out of the tournament if they lose in Germany.
Chelsea go into the game without goalkeeper Berger and midfielder Spence, as Hayes deals with the latest pandemic spike while attempting to guide her team to a vital victory.
When asked about precautionary measures being taken by the club amid the current coronavirus picture, the manager said: "Just common sense.
"The realities are Omicron is everywhere and all parts of society are affected. We've kept the players outside, even here the players will remain in their room, just go to the training pitch, come back. Even thicker masks, more spacing on buses and on the plane. It's a common sense approach.
"We have the experience of being in this position before and I think we've learned a lot about how to socially distance appropriately - but as we all know, you cannot prevent it, we can just minimise the impact to our squad so we can finish the football calendar year."
Regarding whether players would be able to visit their families overseas during the forthcoming winter break, Hayes said: "We hope so. Everybody across the squad has been double-vaccinated."
Chelsea head into their final group fixture leading Group A and will qualify for the quarter-finals as winners if they avoid defeat.
Hayes said: "We are fully focused on qualifying tomorrow night, and we've got all the quality to do that.
"The focus, the determination, the efforts from the team I'm sure will be 100 per cent tomorrow evening."
