Newcastle United have at least 14 players ruled out for Tuesday night's Champions League clash at Paris Saint-Germain (8pm kick-off).
Fresh injury blows to Sean Longstaff and Joe Willock over the international break have added to The Magpies' already lengthy injury list. Eddie Howe's side will be boosted by the return of Lewis Hall after the left-back was ineligible for the 4-1 win against Chelsea on Saturday.
But four more United players are ineligible for the trip to Parc des Princes due to Champions League squad rules. Matt Ritchie, Emil Krafth, Mark Gillespie and Javier Manquillo have been omitted from Newcastle's Champions League squad and can't feature despite the injury crisis.
A number of members of Newcastle's squad are currently nursing long-term injury issues with the situation showing no sign of clearing up.
As a result, Howe could struggle to name a bench with several Under-21s players expected to be called-up into the squad once again.
Newcastle head into the game at PSG needing a result in order to keep their Champions League last-16 hopes alive. The Magpies won the reverse fixture 4-1 at St James' Park last month but have lost consecutive matches against Borussia Dortmund since - seeing them go from top of the group to bottom.
1. Matt Targett (achilles)
Targett has been missing since picking up a hamstring injury against Man Utd back in November. He has featured on the bench in their last couple of outings before dropping out v West Ham and Everton in what is understood to be a minor setback in his recovery. Expected return: Tottenham Hotspur (H) - 13/04 | Getty Images
2. Kieran Trippier (calf)
Trippier was forced off during the 3-0 win over Wolves with a calf injury. He has since been ruled out for over a month. Set for another couple of weeks out at least. Expected return: Crystal Palace (A) - 24/04 | Getty Images
3. Nick Pope (shoulder)
Nick Pope dislocated his shoulder against Manchester United in December and required surgery. Eddie Howe has said the goalkeeper is still a number of weeks away and isn't expected back until 'late April'. Expected return: Sheffield United (H) - 27/04 | Getty Images
4. Tino Livramento (ankle)
Livramento picked up a twisted ankle injury at Chelsea which ruled him out for the Manchester City trip. He returned against West Ham United before suffering another ankle injury which will keep him out for another couple of weeks. Expected return: Burnley (A) - 04/05 | Getty Images
