Chelsea are monitoring a number of first team players ahead of the visit of Newcastle this weekend. Frank Lampard has had to find solutions on a number of occasions this season, following a whole host of injury problems. The most senior figure to suffer has been N’Golo Kante, who only recently returned to the side following a lay-off. Unfortunately for him and his Chelsea boss Lampard, Kante was forced to drop out of the France starting line up against Iceland on Friday during the warm up. Mateo Kovacic was forced off the field against Wales following a duel with Ben Davies.
