Newcastle United face an injury crisis after Jetro Willems and Paul Dummet were ruled out for the rest of the season with injuries. That surely means that the Magpies will have to dip into the transfer market to pick up a replacement before the end of the month. We look at some potential options that Steve Bruce’s team could explore below.

The former Arsenal man is currently playing in the Champiomship with West Bromwich Albion - the Baggies look set to earn promotion, yet Steve Bruce could do worse than offer him a fast-track route back to the top flight. Photo: Nathan Stirk
10. Lewis Gibson
Gibson has been linked with a return to St James' Park after failing to make an impact at Everton. He is a centre-back primarily, but can also play as a left-back. Photo: YASUYOSHI CHIBA
