Newcastle were checking on the fitness of midfield duo Yohan Cabaye and Cheik Tiote ahead of Monday's Barclays Premier League game with Bolton.
Neither finished Friday's win at Swansea, with Tiote forced off before half-time and Cabaye withdrawn late on.
Midfielder Danny Guthrie failed to recover from a hamstring injury, while Fabricio Coloccini (hamstring), Steven Taylor (Achilles), Peter Lovenkrands (thigh), Leon Best, Sammy Ameobi (both knee) and Sylvain Marveaux (groin) remain sidelined.
