Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Newcastle United

Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash with Newcastle United on Monday night.

Chelsea will return to action on Monday evening when they square off against Newcastle United in the Premier League.

After a three-game stretch in the space of a week, Mauricio Pochettino's side will have had a nine-day break by the time that they take to the pitch against the Magpies.

However, the Blues' injury issues have shown no signs of letting up ahead of this game as they prepare to try to earn a potentially-pivotal victory in the race for European qualification.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the meeting with Eddie Howe's side.
