Newcastle injury list & return dates: Key duo miss training as player returns ahead of Liverpool - gallery

Here is Newcastle United’s current injury list and estimated player return dates ahead of Liverpool this weekend and Manchester United in the Carabao Cup final.

Newcastle drew 1-1 at Bournemouth on Saturday in a match which forced Eddie Howe to make three substitutions due to injury concerns. Joe Willock, Miguel Almiron and Allan Saint-Maximin were all withdrawn after picking up knocks.

Callum Wilson and Jamaal Lascelles also didn’t travel to the game at the Vitality Stadium but are expected to be back in contention soon.

The Magpies also have longer term absentees with both Matty Longstaff and Emil Krafth recovering from serious ACL injuries. Full-backs Matt Targett and Javier Manquillo are also sidelined but aren’t too far away from being back in contention.

Wilson and Willock weren’t pictured in training during the week though Manquillo, Lascelles, Almiron and Saint-Maximin all were.

Next up for Newcastle is a Premier League match against Liverpool, the only side to beat them in the league so far this season, at St James’s Park on Saturday (5:30pm kick-off) before they travel to Wembley Stadium the following weekend for the Carabao Cup final against Manchester United (Sunday, February 26, 4:30pm kick-off).
