Ivanovic scored late in the first half of Tuesday's 1-1 draw against Newcastle at The Hawthorns.

Ivanovic's goal came more than three minutes into extra time, despite the referee calling for only two minutes. Ivanovic has been an elite fantasy defender of late, recording two goals, one assist and two clean sheets in his last three matches. Up next is a tie with Manchester City in the FA Cup on Saturday, followed by a return to Premier League action on February 22 against Everton at Stamford Bridge.

Ivanovic assisted on the first of Eden Hazard's three goals during Chelsea's 3-0 win over Newcastle on Saturday.

Ivanovic has been an excellent fantasy producer of late, recording a goal and an assist, along with two clean sheets, in his last two Premier League matches. The defender has been a big part of Chelsea's recent defensive form, which will look for its fourth consecutive shutout Tuesday at West Brom.

Ivanovic scored in the 32nd minute of Chelsea's 1-0 win at Manchester City on Monday.

Ivanovic's left-footed strike from 25-yards out beat City goalkeeper Joe Hart for the only score of the match. It was a big one for the Blues, who pulled even with City in the table, and now trail league-leaders Arsenal by only two. Ivanovic, who was also hit with a yellow card, has only two goals this season after scoring eight in all competitions for Chelsea last season.

Ivanovic is in the starting XI for Sunday's Premier League match against Manchester United.

Ivanovic had a knee injury that was supposed to keep him out until the end of January, but he is inserted into the starting XI after only training Friday.

Ivanovic is expected to miss the rest of January due to the knee injury he suffered last Sunday against Liverpool, the Daily Mail reports.

Ivanovic hasn't been a great fantasy contributor this season, failing to match his pace from last year. Missing a month due to a knee injury certainly won't help him get back to that.

The knee injury Ivanovic suffered in last weekend's match against Liverpool will keep him out Wednesday against Southampton, the Aberdeen Evening Express reports.

Manager Jose Mourinho indicated that the injury to Ivanovic's knee was painful, but not serious, although it's clearly bad enough to keep him out for at least one match.

Ivanovic came off after just 30 minutes of Sunday's tilt with Liverpool due to an injury, but it is not considered serious.

Ivanovic was able to jog off the pitch, so it's not surprising that it's not considered serious. With a quick turnaround, as Chelsea faces Southampton on Wednesday, it wouldn't be overly surprising if Ivanovic was given the game off.
