Fabricio Coloccini got through just over an hour of the Capital One Cup exit against Manchester United, after spending most of the season on the sidelines.
Alan Pardew: “The only worry we have is Colo. He’s back, but we don’t think he’s quite right yet.
“If he’s not right then we won’t risk him.
"Everybody will come back in and they are in good health.
“Everybody is pushing and available.”
"Cheick Tiote is a big players for us, and you can't underestimate that.
“I thought Colo was composed. He reads situations, and does things that to the untrained eye makes it look easy.
“Great players – like Wayne Rooney – do that, and Colo does that in a defensive way. We've missed that knowledge.”
