Eddie Howe says Newcastle United travel to Stamford Bridge with a “healthy squad” for the Premier League meeting, and fans wanting to watch chelsea vs newcastle have confirmed UK broadcast and club streaming options.
Chelsea Vs Newcastle: Howe Confirms Squad Status
Howe described his group as “healthier than it has been” after recent returns from injury, but confirmed the team will still be without Bruno Guimarães and Lewis Miley for the trip to Chelsea. He noted that players including Tino Livramento, Joelinton, William Osula and Sven Botman have recently returned to action and provided an important boost to the squad.
The manager said Anthony Gordon trained and “feels better”. He clarified that Gordon had been willing to play in the recent match against Barcelona but did not start because he had been ill the morning of the game and missed the training session; the decision not to start was taken in consultation with the medical team. Howe praised Gordon’s competitive nature and adaptability this season, saying he was “probably in the best moment that he’s been this season, currently. “
Howe also singled out the performance of former Chelsea defender Lewis Hall in the midweek match as a “coming of age moment” in what he described as an already impressive campaign. He warned that there will be mental challenges for his players and emphasised the need to focus fully on Chelsea, calling the match a tough Premier League away game that requires the squad to be prepared.
