Newcastle United picked up three points at Nottingham Forest but suffered two fresh injury blows on their visit to the City Ground.
Two goals from Bruno Guimaraes and another from Fabian Schar saw The Magpies claim a 3-2 win over Forest. Newcastle winger Jacob Murphy suffered a calf injury in the warm-up ahead of the match while Callum Wilson was struggling with his arm in the closing stages of the win.
Afterwards, Magpies boss Eddie Howe told The Gazette: "Slight concern for us after the game. His shoulder is fine but there looks to be a problem with one of the muscles in his arm. We’re hopeful it’s not serious but at this moment we don’t know.” On Murphy, Howe added: "Jacob Murphy was unusable for us today. He didn’t feel great in the warm-up. So we’re still getting challenges left, right and centre but we’re, at this moment in time, managing to come through those.
"Today was a massive result for us, it gives us a real big high off the back of last week where there were so many positives but ultimately a disappointing result. The players just keep giving more and I couldn’t be prouder."
The win at Forest was Newcastle's fourth successive away victory as Howe's side made it seven points out of their last nine in the Premier League following the 3-1 win at Aston Villa and 4-4 draw against Luton Town. Next up for Newcastle is a home match against AFC Bournemouth next Saturday (3pm kick-off).
1. Matt Targett (hamstring)
Matt Targett has been on the sidelines after picking up a hamstring injury in the opening minutes of Newcastle’s 3-0 Carabao Cup win against Manchester United. The left-back had surgery on his hamstring in November and given a three month recovery time. Howe has since confirmed Targett is back on the grass and on the verge of returning. Expected return: Chelsea (A) - 11/03
2. Kieran Trippier (calf)
Trippier was forced off during the 3-0 win over Wolves on Saturday with a calf injury. Following a scan result, Trippier has been ruled out for a few weeks. Expected return: West Ham (H) - 30/03
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. Expected return: Everton (H) - 03/04
4. 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 and has undergone surgery. Expected return: Burnley (A) - 04/05
