Due to a muscle leg strain that forced him to miss the game against the Canaries, Reece James is expected to be unavailable.

 

Joelinton is a concern for Newcastle after missing the 2-1 win over Southampton on Thursday night due to a groin injury. Allan Saint-Maximin, a striker, was also out due to illness, and both will be evaluated. Unlike center defender Federico Fernandez (side strain), full-backs Kieran Tripper (fractured metatarsal) and Jamal Lewis (groin), midfielder Isaac Hayden (knee), and striker Callum Wilson, midfielder Bruno Guimaraes went off late with cramp but is believed to be fit (calf).

Michael Keane is back in action after missing Monday's 5-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur due to illness.

 

Due to hamstring injuries, Ki-Jana Hoever and Nelson Semedo will miss another game for the Wolves. After it was revealed that fellow right-back Semedo would be sidelined for a month, Hoever was brought into the lineup to face Crystal Palace last weekend.
