Newcastle United have been dealt two fresh injury concerns following Wednesday's 2-1 Champions League defeat against AC Milan at St James' Park.
The result saw The Magpies exit Europe altogether as they finished bottom of their group. During the match, Anthony Gordon and Kieran Trippier were both forced off.
Trippier picked up a knock in the first half while Gordon has been nursing a minor hamstring issue and was withdrawn as a precaution. Trippier will miss Saturday's Premier League match against Fulham due to suspension.
The Magpies have been boosted by the return of Dan Burn, who came off the bench for Trippier having missed seven matches with a back issue. Burn could be given the nod at left-back this weekend with Tino Livramento swapping to right-back.
Sven Botman, Harvey Barnes and Joe Willock are also understood to be closing in on returns as Eddie Howe looks to get Newcastle's season back on track after a difficult week. United head into Saturday's match on the back of three straight defeats in all competitions.
Following the Fulham match, Newcastle then have the chance to progress through to the semi-final of the Carabao Cup for the second season running. The Magpies face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Here is Newcastle United's injury list and expected return dates...
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
