Although Big Sam has included Caçapa in his squad, he will not play at Fulham tomorrow.
United manager Sam Allardyce was delighted to see him come through the game against a Hartlepool United XI unscathed, but he will not take a chance on him as the Magpies look to rediscover their winning touch on the road against a Fulham side with one of the worst home records in the Premier League.
Caçapa will only be considered for a spot on the bench as Allardyce looks ahead to a gruelling Festive fixture list.
Caçapa will be in the squad which travels to London this afternoon, but the Brazilian will not come straight back into the team, even though his manager is adamant the blunders in his last game - the 4-1 home defeat to Portsmouth on November 3 - are long forgotten.
Sam Allardyce: "That game is so far gone, it has gone down the River Tyne, into the sea and it's on its way to bloody France now. We will not be talking about that again.
"Caçapa looked good and he will be back in the squad on Saturday. But I can't see him starting the game, he's still a little rusty and he's short on match practice.
"Like Duffer (Damien Duff), he needs a bit longer yet, but it will be great to be able to use them at some point over the busy Christmas period because the squad is going to be stretched."
