Newcastle United interim coach Graeme Jones has provided team news and injury updates ahead of the Chelsea clash.
Jones has stated that goalkeeper Martin Dubravka will be 'available' for the match against the Blues due to lacking sharpness.
Beside Dubravka, Jonjo Shelvey will also be available after his red card suspension 2 weeks ago.
Speaking about injuries, the Magpies' boss has claimed.
"We've got Paul Dummett and Elliot Anderson still missing. Other than that we've got a fully fit squad to choose from."
Jones says thatthey're motivated with high spirits for the Chelsea game, after the they held Crystal Palace last weekend in the capital.
"We're certainly not getting carried away with a draw, but it was a solid place to start," he said.
"We've spent the early part of the week focusing on ourselves and trying to be better and then the latter part of it on Chelsea. I'm pleased with the five days of work."
When asked about morale in the Toon camp, the interim manager added.
"I've got no complaints on how we've worked - our conscience is clear and the response from the boys has been brilliant.
"Our job is to make this club as united as it possibly can be for the next manager that comes in."
