Newcastle United forward Yoane Wissa is getting closer to his return while five others are doubts for the Magpies, including former Spurs man Kieran Trippier, as we make the trip to the north east on Tuesday.
Striker Wissa, who is yet to play for Newcastle since his summer move from Brentford, is continuing his recovery from a knee injury and it looks like he is on the verge of a return to action, though this game may come too soon for the DR Congo international.
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said on the forward in his pre-match press conference, "Yoane participated in an 11v11 training game while we were at Everton. He'll have another one at some stage this week and we'll see how close he is."
Elsewhere, our former full-back Trippier is expected to miss this game through injury as is Fellow defender Emil Krafth and striker William Osula.
Centre-back Sven Botman is also a doubt as is goalkeeper Nick Pope, who missed the Magpies' 4-1 win over Everton on Saturday evening.
"With Sven, he's going to see a specialist in the next couple of days to get a definitive opinion on whether he needs an injection or whether he's able to rest for a few days and resume training," Howe said.
"No further update from Saturday. He [Nick] is one of a number of players we'll analyse early this week and try to get a proper diagnosis."
