Newcastle United vs. Chelsea: Dec 20, 2025

Essugo (thigh) is still not an option for the time being since coach Enzo Maresca made a mistake announcing him back next week, according to Bobby Vincent from Football London.

Delap (shoulder) is likely going to be available for next week's clash against Aston Villa, coach Enzo Maresca said in the press conference, according to Football London. "Liam is probably available for Aston Villa. We said since his injury, we didn't know exactly for how long but he is progressing well."

Livramento (knee) is unlikely to return before 2026 due to the setback of his injury, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "We don't think it's a serious injury. The complication we have is that Tino has injured that knee before in a very similar area. That always makes the potential recovery time a little bit longer. I don't think we'll see him possibly before 2026."

Hall (hamstring) could be available for Saturday's clash against Chelsea, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "He could be [available for tomorrow]. He felt some fatigue in his hamstring after the Sunderland game so he had a scan which didn't reveal too much so we'll see."
