Newcastle United face PSG in a crucial Champions League clash at the Parc Des Princes on Tuesday night with the Magpies knowing they must get a positive result to keep their hopes of qualifying for the knockout rounds alive.
Eddie Howe’s side defeated the French champions 4-1 at St James’ Park in the reverse fixture on a very memorable night on Tyneside - but the must-win nature of this game has been made even harder by the growing injury list at the club.
Howe was forced to name three goalkeepers on the bench for Saturday’s win over Chelsea with Champions League regulations meaning he has an even smaller pool of players to pick from this week.
Here, we take a look at the latest injury news from both camps ahead of the Champions League clash at the Parc Des Princes:
9. Sven Botman - out
The Dutchman still has a little longer to go in his recovery from a knee injury. Botman hasn’t featured for the club since the win over Sheffield United last month and will miss the clash against PSG. There is hope he will be available for selection in the not too distant future. | Getty Images
10. Mark Gillespie - out
Gillespie has not been included in Newcastle United’s Champions League squad and thus is unable to feature against PSG. | Getty Images
11. Matt Targett - out
Targett was substituted very early on against Manchester United after suffering a hamstring injury. The left-back has undergone surgery on the injury and will thus miss the next few months of action. | Getty Images
12. Callum Wilson - out
Wilson was withdrawn at half-time of the defeat to Borussia Dortmund and was forced to withdraw from Gareth Southgate’s England squad a fortnight ago. He is facing another few weeks on the sidelines. | Getty Images
