And the 27-year-old – who has scored four goals against Liverpool – was out on a snowy training field with his United team-mates yesterday.

Benitez's players also used the indoor barn at the club's Benton HQ due to the frozen pitch outside.

Newcastle's manager will give a fitness update on Gayle and Jonjo Shelvey at his press conference this afternoon.

Shelvey suffered a knee injury at the Vitality Stadium, where Bournemouth came from two goals down to draw 2-2.

The midfielder was not involved in yesterday's training session.
