Graham Potter provides Jorginho injury update as Chelsea receive Newcastle boost

Graham Potter has confirmed that Jorginho is likely to be involved in Saturday's Chelsea squad that travels to St. James Park to face Newcastle.

The Italian midfielder missed Wednesday night's League Cup game against Manchester City with a foot problem and was perceived to be a doubt ahead of this weekend.

"Jorgi trained today," Potter confirmed to football.london. "Providing there's no reaction, he should be in the squad." This will be of relief to Potter, whose injury list has continued to grow since taking charge in September. Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Ben Chilwell and Kepa Arrizabalaga are all out of action until after the World Cup, whilst N'Golo Kante faces a lengthier absence after having surgery on a hamstring issue.
