The Magpies face a difficult trip to Manchester City on Sunday as they look to get back to winning ways under Eddie Howe.
But they have several injury doubts for the trip including a fresh issue following Fabian Schar’s withdrawal during Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Liverpool at St James’s Park.
Injuries have threatened to derail Newcastle’s battle for survival but the club have managed admirably in spite of some long-term absences to key individuals in the squad.
Callum Wilson and Kieran Trippier have missed the majority of the second half of the season while Jamal Lewis and Isaac Hayden were left out of Eddie Howe’s 25 man squad in January due to their respective injury issues.
Here is Newcastle’s injury list in full...
5. Isaac Hayden - knee
The midfielder picked up a serious knee injury in December and has been ruled out for the remainder of the season having been left out of Newcastle’s 25-man squad as a result. But he was handed a boost last week as he returned to full training with the first team squad. Expected return: Pre season Photo: Stu Forster
6. Jamal Lewis - groin
Has had to have operations on his groin area in an attempt to address a long-standing injury problem. The left-back has been left out of Newcastle’s 25 man squad and has only played a bit-part role in training in recent months. Howe has admitted the player has ‘not felt 100 per cent’.
