The 15 Players Who Could Miss Newcastle vs Chelsea as United Hit by Injury Crisis

St James' Park will kickstart the 17th Premier League matchday with Newcastle United vs Chelsea on Saturday, December 20th, 2025 at 12:30 GMT / 13:30 CET / 07:30 ET.
Newcastle's season context shows they sit 12th despite reaching the Carabao Cup semis, with injury worries mounting as Dan Burn, Valentino Livramento, Sven Botman, Kieran Trippier, and Emil Krafth remain sidelined.
Chelsea contend with selection issues as Cole Palmer manages a groin problem but is expected involved, Estevao misses this match due to a muscular issue, and Mykhailo Mudryk is absent amid an FA charge.
Joelinton's return means Lewis Miley will deputise at right-back while Trevoh Chalobah is a nailed-on starter in a predicted Newcastle lineup featuring Miley, Thiaw, Schar, Hall, and Tonali.
Broadcast arrangements note that the match airs on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate in the UK, streams on Discovery+, and last-minute tickets are available via StubHub.
