Chelsea's squad has been ravaged by injuries this season, and they are currently dealing with a whole host of issues ahead of their meeting with Newcastle United on Saturday.
No less than seven of the Blues' first-team players are currently battling various injuries, meaning Frank Lampard may need to get creative with his lineup for the upcoming game.
The latest updates on the Chelsea squad come from The Athletic's Simon Johnson. The first player discussed is Antonio Rüdiger, who is believed to be fit after recovering from a groin injury, although he is still unlikely to feature against Newcastle.
