CONFIRMED: 3 Chelsea key players to miss Newcastle clash
Chelsea could be without three players for Saturday’s Premier League away at Newcastle.
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard confirmed on Thursday that Christian Pulisic is unavailable for the game against Newcastle United.
Lampard said: “Christian Pulisic is not fit for Newcastle but he’s stepped up his training slowly.
“It’s been quite a problematic injury so we’ll stay cautious.”
Lampard also confirmed Thiago Silva will miss the game against Newcastle United after a lengthy trip back from international duty in South America.
Lampard said: “Thiago Silva has just landed and messaged me this afternoon so he probably won’t be going to Newcastle because of the length of his journey and timings.”
Kai Havertz is also expected to miss the game against Newcastle United as he isn’t expected to be fit having spent two weeks at home after testing positive for coronavirus.
