Alan Pardew: “There’s good news with Tim.
"The doc feels he’s a week ahead of schedule and he might make the game against Chelsea.
“That’s good for us because you always want to have your number one available.
“We are waiting for Tim and Rob Elliot, and we have Siem who hasn’t played a game for us.
“Rolando Aarons is set to return, so we have still got some big, big players to come back into this group, so that’s not a concern.”
