Thiago Silva, Marc Cucurella - Chelsea injury news and return dates following Brentford collapse

Mauricio Pochettino will be determined to return to winning ways when Chelsea lock horns with Newcastle United next week. The Blues will welcome the Magpies to Stamford Bridge on Monday, March 11, as either side hopes to climb the Premier League table.

Chelsea head into the tie off the back of a disappointing 2-2 draw against Brentford, meanwhile, Newcastle will have a skip in their step after storming past Wolves 3-0 at St James' Park. With Pochettino under immense pressure and the Magpies soaring, Eddie Howe's side will be determined to pile on the misery in west London.

It's not all doom and gloom for the Blues, though. A couple of big names have returned from the treatment room with many more expected to follow soon enough. So, with that being said, football.london has taken a look at all the latest Chelsea injury news and updates.

Shortly after returning from the treatment room in November, James suffered another hamstring injury in Chelsea's clash against Everton. The defender has been out ever since, but he's recently begun his recovery phase.

Injury: Hamstring.

Predicted return date: March/April 2024.

What Pochettino has said: «I think he feels well. We were talking and he has started his recovery, one day closer to being with the group. This is really positive and we are all positive around him, we are going to help. It is always tough for a player with a very complicated, difficult season for him.

»Now's the process to start to recover. One day less until he is part of the group. The most important thing is to start to solve the problem
