Newcastle winger Kenedy to sit out game with parent club Chelsea
Posted Friday, May 11, 2018 by PA
Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez will be without loan signings Kenedy and Islam Slimani for the final game of the Premier League season against Chelsea.
Winger Kenedy is ineligible to face his parent club and striker Slimani has returned to Leicester after being suspended for the final three games of the campaign.
Defender Ciaran Clark and midfielder Christian Atsu are both still out with knee injuries.
Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, meanwhile, is expected to be fit for Chelsea.
Courtois had a back injury and was absent for Wednesday’s 1-1 draw with Huddersfield, which severely dented the Blues’ hopes of Champions League football next term.
Striker Olivier Giroud and forward Eden Hazard are among those likely to be restored to the starting line-up, but defenders David Luiz (knee) and Ethan Ampadu (ankle) are out.
