Newcastle boss Eddie Howe admits they face an "intense" month ahead.
The Toon host Chelsea on Saturday.
He said: "It's going to be a demanding month for us, especially with the Champions League and League Cup involvement.
"We have given ourselves a real intense period. An even bigger challenge with the absentees we have but we roll with it, we go with it. The players we have fit and available are very strong."
He also said: "Fabian [Schr] was more precautionary rather than any injury, we saw him yesterday he seemed good. Miggy [Miguel Almiron] has worked really well since his hamstring. Kieran [Trippier] is fine, he has trained with us since his return from England. We will check on Sean [Longstaff] before tomorrow."
"Our home form has been very strong - we have had some good results against some top sides. You look back at our last league game here against Arsenal, it was a very strong performance, full of discipline and quality. Another performance and atmosphere like that would be more than welcome. There is a determination to put the Bournemouth result to bed."
