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:
17. Matt Targett - out
Targett was substituted very early on against Manchester United after suffering a hamstring injury. The left-back has undergone surgery on the injury and will thus miss the next few months of action. | Getty Images

19. Elliot Anderson - out

20. Harvey Barnes - out
Barnes picked up a foot injury at Bramall Lane and has not featured for the Magpies since that day. A return around Christmas and the new year is seemingly most likely for the former Leicester City man. | AFP via Getty Images
