And despite the absence of the consistent Baker, who joined permanently from Stoke City in the summer, Jardim understands the situation.
He says the absence of any player would “disturb” preparations for a significant international.
“They are on grass from Monday,” said Jardim.
“As a coach I know it’s important to have all your players available, that is no different for Matt so he will be there on Monday.”
Baker has played predominantly as a centre-back for Newport this season.
The Exiles will go to Valley Parade looking to build on back-to-back victories in League Two. Tuesday’s 3-1 home win over Salford City followed a 2-1 success against Crewe last Saturday, with Baker heading the winning goal.
Captain James Clarke is close to a return having been out since late August after a leg injury. He will be assessed over the weekend as Jardim contemplates his starting line-up without Baker.
Jardim said: “I think it’s a big thing when you play for your country. I know that. I told him make sure you are focused and the best you can be for your country.
“Matt is happy for that. Every player is just proud and we are also proud we have a player like him playing for Wales in such an important and exciting period for the under-21s with Matty Jones, who is someone I like.
“He is a friend of mine, a good coach, a really good guy. I wish them all the best and Matt [Baker] will be there helping the country.”
Ciaran Brennan, who returned from suspension on the bench against Salford, is also vying for a starting place at Bradford.
