Allan Saint-Maximin could return to the Newcastle squad for Saturday's Premier League clash with Aston Villa.
The Frenchman has played just 12 minutes of football since damaging his hamstring at the end of August, but is close to a return after stepping up his rehabilitation.
Midfielder Elliot Anderson is available after recovering from a minor ankle issue, but keeper Karl Darlow (ankle), defenders Paul Dummett (calf) and Emil Krafth (knee), midfielder Matt Ritchie (calf) and striker Alexander Isak (thigh) are still out.
