Diego Costa won't face Newcastle as he serves his three-match ban
NEWCASTLE striker Aleksandar Mitrovic will return from his three-match ban for tomorrow's visit of Chelsea (5:30pm).
 
The Serbia international, who was sent off against Arsenal, is available, but Papiss Cisse (back), Paul Dummett (hamstring) and Cheick Tiote (knee) will be missing once again.
Daryl Janmaat has recovered from illness, but fellow full-back Massadio Haidara faces a late fitness test on his knee injury while midfielders Jack Colback and Rolando Aarons are struggling with calf problems.
 
Meanwhile, Chelsea striker Diego Costa will serve the second game of a three-match ban, with Radamel Falcao and former Magpies striker Loic Remy in line to start in his absence.
The Blues will be boosted with forward Willian (hamstring), playmaker Oscar (knee) and winger Pedro (thigh) all fully fit, but goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is out until December following knee surgery.
