Subs: Travers, McKenna, Jebbison, Silcott-Duberry, Adu-Adjei, Akinmboni, Winterburn, Kinsey, Rees-Dottin. Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope remains out with a knee injury but the club can call on Martin Dubravka, who has proved a more than capable deputy, following the news that rumours of his imminent move to Saudi Arabia were greatly exaggerated.
Callum Wilson and Harvey Barnes are both sidelined with thigh injuries, while long-term absentee Jamaal Lascelles is back in training but still a long way off full fitness. Fabian Schar trained yesterday following his recovery from illness but may not be ready to feature today. Miguel Almiron is expected to be named in Newcastle’s matchday squad despite reports linking him with a £10m return to MLS side Atalanta.
“It’s not ideal,” said Eddie Howe of the prospect of losing the Paraguayan winger. “But I don’t think it would be ideal from anyone’s viewpoint. From our perspective, we don’t want to lose players but we know the reality of PSR [profit and sustainability rules] and our ongoing management of that. We are making decisions not based on football but making ones for the future.”.
