The Magpies have won just one league game in 2023 and face a stiff test against a rejuvenated Wolves side this weekend. Julen Lopetegui’s side defeated Spurs last time out to put daylight between themselves and the relegation zone.

What’s the latest injury news?

Newcastle United will be without Joelinton who is suspended for two games after picking up ten Premier League bookings this season. Other than their long-term absentees, Eddie Howe has a fairly full squad to pick from on Sunday.

Lopetegui, meanwhile, has a fair few selection headaches heading into the game. He has revealed that Diego Costa will miss the clash at St James’s Park after suffering a knee-injury against Spurs last time out.

Chiquinho, Sasa Kalajdzic and Hugo Bueno have all been ruled-out of action for the game. Two slight positives for Wolves could be that Hwang Hee-chan and Boubacar Traore face late fitness tests ahead of the game.
