Cisse happy to put Newcastle first

Newcastle United striker Papiss Cisse says he's ready to face Chelsea.

Cisse had no problem having to see action against Europa League opponents Atromitos due to injuries.

Cisse said: "I'm a team player, obviously.

"I love to play. When I go on the pitch I have to say I just want to score goals. It's my favourite part of the game, seeing the ball hit the back of the net.

"I'm not too tired, I didn't run around too much against Atromitos.

"I feel good and ready for Chelsea. It's my job to score goals and I hope we can get the same result as last year."
