Given Fernando Torres’ latest poor showing in front of goal against Reading on Wednesday, Ba looks almost certain to be recalled to the starting line-up this weekend.
Cesar Azpilicueta: “I don’t know how they [Newcastle fans] feel.
"Demba is a Chelsea player.
"He’s going to do his best for Chelsea.
"It’s true that he played very well there so I think they must be disappointed because he’s a very good player, but he’s going to be focused on the game.”
