Newcastle United head into the Carabao Cup quarter-final clash at Chelsea with several players unavailable for selection.
Just as The Magpies' injury situation started to ease with the returns of Callum Wilson, Sean Longstaff and Dan Burn, they have been hit with fresh blows to Joelinton and Fabian Schar. Both players were forced off during Saturday's 3-0 win over Fulham and went for scans on Monday ahead of the trip to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday evening (8pm kick-off).
Alexander Isak missed the Fulham match with a groin issue and is a major doubt for the trip to West London. Kieran Trippier is set to return from suspension but has been nursing a slight knock picked up against AC Milan last week.
United also have a number of longer-term injury issues with Jacob Murphy and Nick Pope both undergoing shoulder surgery. Matt Targett also had an operation on his hamstring while Harvey Barnes and Elliot Anderson are set to be out until January at the earliest.
Despite the injury crisis, Newcastle will be hoping to reach the Carabao Cup semi-final for the second season running. Eddie Howe's side finished runners-up in the competition last season, losing 2-0 to Manchester United in the final.
But the club's run to the last eight this season has seen them knock out favourites Manchester City and holders Man United without conceding a goal.
