Newcastle United head into Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final at Manchester City (5:30pm kick-off) with a slightly depleted squad.
Key players such as Kieran Trippier, Joelinton, Callum Wilson, Nick Pope, Harvey Barnes and Sandro Tonali have all been ruled out for the match. There are also doubts over Anthony Gordon's fitness after the winger was forced off with a knee injury picked up during the 3-2 defeat at Chelsea on Monday night.
But The Magpies received an injury boost regarding Gordon with the player returning to training and earning his first England call-up with his knee injury not as bad as first feared.
"It was a strange one because initially when you see a player come off like that you fear it's a serious injury," head coach Eddie Howe explained.
"He partly trained yesterday, we didn't do a great deal but he joined in and seemed okay. I don't think he did anything serious which is great news for us.
"We train again [Friday] so we'll do a full session and make a judgement after that."
Newcastle have only beaten Manchester City once at the Etihad Stadium - a 2-0 League Cup win back in 2014. They will be hoping to defy the odds and reach a first FA Cup semi-final since 2005 with a victory on Saturday.
Here is Newcastle United's current injury list and expected return dates...
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
