Chelsea injury, suspension news and return dates for Newcastle United clash

Chelsea are back in action on Sunday afternoon when they play host to Newcastle United in the Premier League.

The Blues returned to winning ways earlier this week when a much-changed side cruised to a 4-1 victory over Panathinaikos in the Conference League.

However, having succumbed 2-1 to Liverpool last weekend, Enzo Maresca's side are under pressure to respond in the top flight in order to avoid losing ground on the top four.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the first of two fixtures with the Magpies in the space of three days.
