Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior insists he is happy with his goalkeeper options after Filip Jorgensen's error against PSG.

The Blues boss will have to decide whether to stick with Jorgensen or reinstate Robert Sanchez - who was dropped for the previous Premier League game against Aston Villa - when Chelsea face Newcastle on Saturday.

Jamie Gittens is back in contention after injury having joined full training but Estevao remains sidelined as Chelsea build him back up after his hamstring issue.

Newcastle will be hoping Anthony Gordon has shaken off the illness which restricted him to a sub role against Barcelona when the Magpies go to Chelsea on Saturday night.

Yoane Wissa, who was an unused sub against Barcelona, is injury free and available.

However, Lewis Miley is not currently training with the group and Bruno Guimaraes will not return from Brazil, where he is receiving treatment on a hamstring injury, until Monday.

Pedro Neto has been handed an additional game ban, following his red card at Arsenal at the start of this month, and will miss Saturday's game with Newcastle.

The Chelsea winger served a suspension for picking up two yellow cards in quick succession at the Emirates, missing Chelsea's subsequent win at Aston Villa in the Premier League.

However, he has now been given a one-match suspension and £70,000 fine for "misconduct after he was sent off".

The decision comes after an independent regulatory commission hearing, in which Neto admitted the charge against him.

The FA say "it is alleged that Neto acted in an improper manner by failing to leave the pitch promptly and/or using abusive words towards the match official/s."
