Newcastle United face AC Milan in a crucial Champions League clash at St James’ Park on Wednesday night.
The Magpies simply must win to stand a chance of qualifying for the knockout stages for the very first time, but Eddie Howe’s side go into the game on the back of two heavy Premier League defeats to Everton and Spurs.
Stefano Pioli’s side also need to win to keep their hopes alive of qualifying from the group and Pioli, much like his opposite number, has a fair few injury concerns to deal with ahead of the game.
Here, we take a look at the latest injury news from both camps ahead of the Champions League clash between Newcastle United and AC Milan:

10. Sven Botman - out
The Dutchman still has a little longer to go in his recovery from a knee injury. Botman hasn’t featured for the club since the win over Sheffield United and will miss the clash against AC Milan - the side he was heavily-linked with joining before moving to Tyneside. There is hope he will be available for selection in the not too distant future. | Getty Images
11. Matt Ritchie - out
Ritchie has not been included in Newcastle United’s Champions League squad and thus is unable to feature against AC Milan. | Getty Images
12. Nick Pope - out
