Jonjo Shelvey misses out, Steve Bruce revealed in the build-up to the game he has been carrying an injury.
Shelvey was disappointing in last weekend’s 4-1 defeat to Manchester United at St James’s Park. The 28-year-old midfielder, however, has been hampered by a groin injury in recent weeks, according to Bruce.

"He's a very, very good player, and most players wouldn't be playing with the injury that he's played with.”
