Magpies boss Eddie Howe is not blessed with the fittest squad right now with points needed on the board quickly.
Sandro Tonali picked up an injury while on Italy duty with and joins Joe Willock, Emil Krafth and Javier Manquillo on the treatment table, although there is a chance he could return to face former team AC Milan on Tuesday.
Sven Botman has been recovering from jarred ligaments which meant he missed the 3-1 defeat at Brighton but Howe revealed in his pre-match press conference the Dutchman has trained in the week and is edging closer to full fitness.
