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.
5. Callum Wilson (chest)
Wilson managed to complete 90 minutes at Nottingham Forest but ended the match with his arm in a makeshift sling. It has since been revealed the striker suffered a pectoral injury in his chest. Has undergone surgery and is back out on the grass. Expected return: Burnley (A) - 04/05 | Getty Images
6. Miguel Almiron (knee)
Forced off just 10 minutes after coming on against West Ham with a knee issue which will keep him sidelined for around a month. Expected return: Burnley (A) - 04/05 | Getty Images
7. Joelinton (thigh)
Joelinton picked up a thigh injury during Newcastle's 3-0 win over Sunderland. He was able to briefly play on before being withdrawn. Eddie Howe has ruled the Brazilian out for at least six weeks but surgery on the injury is likely to keep the midfielder out until the end of the season. Expected return date: Brighton (H) - 11/05 | Getty Images
8. Lewis Miley (back)
Lewis Miley injured his back on international duty. There were fears his season could be over, but he may still be able to play a part of the remainder of the campaign. Expected return: May 2024 Photo: Stu Forster/Getty Images
