David Jones is pushing for a Wigan Athletic recall.
The former Manchester United midfielder has been on the outside looking in over the past few weeks with Roger Espinoza joining James McCarthy and James McArthur in the Latics engine room.
"Everyone's looking forward to the Chelsea game, and there could be places up grabs with a few of the lads being away on international duty," Jones told the Wigan Observer.
"I think there's 11 away in total and that might lead to some changes, so the rest of us have to be ready.
"Hopefully it'll be a good week's training and we'll see what happens."
