Chelsea boss Frank Lampard says Antonio Rudiger will not be in contention to face Newcastle in the Premier League tonight.

Lampard says Rudiger still has a lot of work to do to build up his match fitness before he’ll be available for selection again.

The German missed the start of the season due to a knee problem, which also caused him to sit out the Europa League final win over Arsenal.

Meanwhile, Lampard has suffered a double injury blow ahead of Newcastle's visit with N'Golo Kante and Andreas Christensen ruled out.
