Chelsea vs Newcastle injury news latest as Frank Lampard sweats over Mason Mount fitness test

The Premier League finishing line is in sight and for Chelsea fans, staff and players, it'll be a welcome one after a dismal campaign for the club. The Blues will finish midtable this season, signalling a time of change that has caused plenty of uncertainty across all sectors at Stamford Bridge.

Thomas Tuchel started as head coach, handed the task of integrating a number of signings to refill the squad after sanctions levied against Roman Abramovich saw a number of players leave. The Champions League winner wasn't the man for the long-term in the eyes of Boehly-Clearlake though as they dismissed him in favour of Graham Potter from Brighton.

The Englishman got off to a good start, but a whole host of injuries and a spiral of poor results eventually saw that promised patience run thin and he was removed from his post. Frank Lampard was tasked with being interim manager until the end of the season, but results have only got worse for the side, who will be glad to draw a line under the past year.
