Chelsea are set to be without Christian Pulisic and Kai Havertz for Saturday's clash with Newcastle United.

Pulisic has not played for Chelsea since October 31 due to hamstring complaint

and withdrew from international duty this week to continue his recovery.

Likewise, Havertz has missed Chelsea's last two games after testing positive for coronavirus.

And The Athletic says both players will not be risked for the trip to St. James' Park.

Frank Lampard will also monitor Thiago Silva, with the veteran defender not returning to England until Thursday.
