Newcastle United face Wolves on Saturday at St James’ Park, aiming to capitalise on their penalty shootout win over Blackburn Rovers in midweek. The Magpies were under-par at Ewood Park but progressed thanks to the heroics of Martin Dubravka.
They were able to hand starts to Alexander Isak and Joe Willock in that game, however, whilst Eddie Howe welcomed back Elliot Anderson to the first-team fold after a four-month absence. Newcastle United were defeated by Arsenal last weekend - a result that meant Wolves were able to leapfrog them in the table following their win over Sheffield United.
Gary O’Neil’s side also enjoyed FA Cup success in midweek by beating Brighton and Hove Albion at Molineux. However, their win was overshadowed by injury to their joint-top scorer Hwang Hee-chan.
Speaking post-match, O’Neil admitted he would be ‘amazed’ if the striker was fit to feature this weekend. Here, we take a look at the latest injury news from both camps ahead of Newcastle United’s clash against Wolves:
