Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez will monitor the fitness of Jack Colback and Isaac Hayden ahead of the Good Friday visit of play-off hopefuls Leeds.
Colback has been struggling with a virus and Hayden tightness in his ankle, causing the two midfielders to miss the last two matches.
Striker Dwight Gayle is out after going off with hamstring trouble 29 minutes into last weekend's 2-1 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday.
Benitez has no further injury concerns, however, as the Magpies continue their bid to return to the top flight at the first attempt.
Leeds pair Liam Bridcutt and Hadi Sacko are both hoping to return to contention.
