Newcastle United could be facing yet another injury concern with Eddie Howe unable to provide a clear update on the condition of Ryan Fraser following Saturday’s 1-1 draw at West Ham United.

Fraser has been a regular starter for The Magpies in recent weeks but was forced off in the closing stages of the draw at The London Stadium as Miguel Almiron replaced him.

The winger looked to be struggling after picking up a yellow card for a foul on Nikola Vlašić moments earlier.
