Newcastle United injury and team news

Eddie Howe’s side came through their draw with Aston Villa largely unscathed with most of the group getting minutes under their belts. Martin Dubravka was the only man to play the full 90 in Philadelphia with Loris Karius, who featured against both Gateshead and Rangers, possibly set to feature against the Blues.

Harvey Barnes made his first appearance in a black and white jersey and could be set for a bigger role against Chelsea. Jamaal Lascelles and Jacob Murphy, meanwhile, have both recovered from minor injuries which kept them out of the beginning of pre-season. Joe Willock has also returned to first-team training.
