Newcastle United have several fitness concerns heading into Tuesday night's trip to Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup fifth round.
While The Magpies have welcomed back Joe Willock and Alexander Isak from injury, Martin Dubravka remains a doubt after missing Saturday's 4-1 defeat at Arsenal due to illness. Tino Livramento also picked up a knock at the Emirates Stadium but is expected to be okay to make the trip.
When asked about Dubravka's situation ahead of the trip to Ewood Park, Eddie Howe said: "We hope he's improved and he's available for selection but at this moment in time we don't know."
Third-choice goalkeeper Loris Karius came in with Dubravka unavailable and Nick Pope still recovering from a dislocated shoulder. Pope has required surgery but is in the latter stages of his recovery while a late call will be made on Dubravka for tomorrow night's match.
Newcastle are expected to welcome Matt Targett and Elliot Anderson back soon after lengthy injury absences. Targett has been out since November with a hamstring issue that required surgery while Anderson hasn't been seen since late October due to a stress fracture in his back.
After the trip to Blackburn, Newcastle will be looking to pick up a first win at St James' Park in 2024 when they host Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.
Here is Newcastle United's updated injury list and expected return dates...

5. 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. Has undergone surgery and is back out on the grass. Expected return: Burnley (A) - 04/05 | Getty Images

6. Miguel Almiron (knee)
Forced off just 10 minutes after coming on against West Ham with a knee issue which will keep him sidelined for around a month. Expected return: Burnley (A) - 04/05 | Getty Images

7. Joelinton (thigh)
Joelinton picked up a thigh injury during Newcastle's 3-0 win over Sunderland. He was able to briefly play on before being withdrawn. Eddie Howe has ruled the Brazilian out for at least six weeks but surgery on the injury is likely to keep the midfielder out until the end of the season. Expected return date: Brighton (H) - 11/05 | Getty Images

8. Lewis Miley (back)
Lewis Miley injured his back on international duty. There were fears his season could be over, but he may still be able to play a part of the remainder of the campaign. Expected return: May 2024 Photo: Stu Forster/Getty Images
