Chelsea suffered a blow ahead of Wednesday night's vital Barclays Premiership clash with Newcastle as England midfielder Joe Cole was ruled out of their festive programme with a foot injury.

His comeback was curtailed when he missed the trip to Manchester United after suffering pain in his foot. The problem persisted and the Barclays Premiership champions gave Cole a scan which has revealed a stress fracture, which is likely to keep him out until well into January.
