Newcastle midfielder Moussa Sissoko is available for Saturday's Barclays Premier League trip to Leicester after his return from suspension.
The Frenchman has sat out the last two games following his second dismissal of the season at Liverpool on April 13, and his presence in the squad could hardly be more timely with the Magpies having lost each of their last seven games.
Sissoko could be joined by defender Paul Dummett following his recovery from a knee problem, while midfielder Siem de Jong, who scored on his return as a substitute against Swansea last weekend after an eight-month lay-off, got 90 minutes under his belt for the club's Under-21s on Tuesday.
Newcastle (from): Krul, Woodman, Janmaat, Coloccini, Williamson, Dummett, R.Taylor, Satka, Sterry, Abeid, Anita, Colback, Sissoko, Gouffran, Cabella, De Jong, Ameobi, Obertan, Gutierrez, Kemen, Riviere, Perez, Armstrong, Ferreyra.
