Newcastle handed surprise £200m boost ahead of Chelsea with previously injured duo spotted in training
Newcastle have the longest injury list in the Premier League at the moment but they could be handed a timely boost ahead of Chelsea.
Newcastle United are increasingly confident that Alexander Isak and Miguel Almiron will recover in time for the game against Chelsea this Saturday.
The duo have been back in training as Newcastle United look to turn this around following back-to-back 2-0 defeats before the international break.
They first lost to Dortmund in the Champions League before another disappointing pout against Bournemouth that saw defender Kieran Trippier confront fans after the final whistle.
Manager Eddie Howe has the longest injury list in the Premier League with as many as 10 players currently out either through hurt or suspended.
Sandro Tonali (banned), Jacob Murphy (shoulder), Dan Burn (back), Elliot Anderson (back), Sven Botman (knee), Harvey Barnes (toe), Callum Wilson (hamstring), Javier Manquillo (groin), Matt Targett (hamstring) and Lewis Hall (ineligible) are ruled out.
Chelsea have had another smooth international break with no major injury concerns and their own concerns are beginning to lighten up.
Big summer signings Romeo Lavia and Christopher Nkunku are all pushing to return while the goals have started flowing in.
They beat previously undefeated Tottenham 4-1 and came back three times against Manchester City to earn a point against treble winners Manchester City.
The Blues have only lost once in their last seven games in all competitions and go into this weekend's game as the in-form side.
