Chelsea’s hopes of beating Newcastle this weekend have been boosted as Dan Burn has been ruled out for several weeks after fracturing a rib and puncturing a lung in the Tyne and Wear derby.
Burn was unable to complete the first half of the heated match at the Stadium of Light, which Newcastle lost 1-0 by way of a Nick Woltemade own goal, after a nasty collision with Sunderland defender Nordi Mukiele, who was booked for his troubles.
