A look at the injury news surrounding Chelsea and Newcastle United ahead of their Premier League clash.
Newcastle arrive having crashed out of the FA Cup and conceded a late leveller against Barcelona in the Champions League. The Magpies are scrapping for a Conference League spot currently. Here we round up the latest injury news surrounding both sides.
Emil Krafth - Out
Krafth is out for the season after having a knee surgery.
Bruno Guimaraes - Out
Guimaraes is going to be out until some time in April with a hamstring issue.
Fabian Schar - Out
Schar had surgery in the winter and won’t be back until some time in April.
Lewis Miley - Out
Howe said recently: “Lewis isn't there yet and will not make the next couple of games.” Miley will be another week or so.
Jamie Bynoe-Gittens - Doubt
Rosenior has said: “Jamie is back. We’re working really well in terms of our injury load, and that has to continue.” There is a chance the winger can return here.
Estevao Willian - Out
Rosenior has said: “He's back on the [training] pitch, but he's not ready for this one. We need to be really, really careful, given it was a hamstring injury. He just needs to clear a few more markers before we put him back in.” It’s very likely this one will come a little too soon.
Dario Essugo - Out
Rosenior has said: “Dario is back on the training pitch as well. Hopefully, we can get all these players fit and on the pitch before the end of the season.”
Levi Colwill - Out
In his latest update, Rosenior has said: “If you look at our squad now, Levi is back in modified training.” The defender is on course to return this season.
Mykhailo Mudryk - Out (Suspended)
Mudryk is suspended. A club statement in the summer read: “We can confirm that Mykhailo Mudryk has been charged with Anti-Doping Rule Violations alleging the presence and/or use of a prohibited substance, in terms of Regulations 3 and 4 of The FA's Anti-Doping Regulations. As this is an ongoing case, we are not in a position to comment further at this time.” Mudryk is not included in the final count due to the nature of his absence.
