Several Newcastle United players are ruled out for Saturday's Premier League trip to Nottingham Forest (5:30pm kick-off).
Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak won't feature following recent ankle and groin injuries. Joe Willock, Jamaal Lascelles and Elliot Anderson are understood to be closing in on returns.
The Magpies visit the City Ground this weekend looking to bounce back from the 4-4 draw against Luton Town last time out at St James' Park. While Newcastle won 2-1 in their previous trip to Forest, they were beaten 3-1 the last time the sides met at St James' Park on Boxing Day.
Former United striker Chris Wood scored a hat-trick in the match but has been ruled out of Saturday's match with a hamstring injury.
Newcastle currently sit ninth in the Premier League with 33 points. A win against Forest could take Eddie Howe's side as high as seventh and back into the European places.
But The Magpies head into the match with just one league win in their last six matches in the competition. Howe has recently welcomed Harvey Barnes and Callum Wilson back from injury while also being hit with fresh blows to Gordon and Isak.
Here is the club's current injury/unavailable list and expected return dates heading into Saturday's match...
1. Matt Targett (achilles)
Targett has been missing since picking up a hamstring injury against Man Utd back in November. He has featured on the bench in their last couple of outings before dropping out v West Ham and Everton in what is understood to be a minor setback in his recovery. Expected return: Tottenham Hotspur (H) - 13/04 | Getty Images
2. Kieran Trippier (calf)
Trippier was forced off during the 3-0 win over Wolves with a calf injury. He has since been ruled out for over a month. Set for another couple of weeks out at least. Expected return: Crystal Palace (A) - 24/04 | Getty Images
3. Nick Pope (shoulder)
Nick Pope dislocated his shoulder against Manchester United in December and required surgery. Eddie Howe has said the goalkeeper is still a number of weeks away and isn't expected back until 'late April'. Expected return: Sheffield United (H) - 27/04 | Getty Images
4. Tino Livramento (ankle)
Livramento picked up a twisted ankle injury at Chelsea which ruled him out for the Manchester City trip. He returned against West Ham United before suffering another ankle injury which will keep him out for another couple of weeks. Expected return: Burnley (A) - 04/05 | Getty Images
