The Magpies currently have Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento ruled out for the coming weeks, with the England pair sidelined with hamstring and knee injuries respectively.

Livramento is expected to miss around six to eight weeks after damaging his knee in an aerial collision with Arsenal's William Saliba last month, while Hall has struggled with match fitness all season.
