Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe will make a late call on some of his international stars ahead of the trip to Tottenham this weekend.
Bruno Guimarães only returned on Thursday night after a long-haul flight from South America after being on duty for Brazil while Chris Wood has played three games for New Zealand in Qatar during World Cup qualifiers. But both have the best part of the weekend to rest.
Howe has competition for places in midfield and also has Dwight Gayle vying for a slot in his frontline. When asked about returning international stars, Howe said: "He’s back. I haven’t seen him yet. This will be the first day I’ve seen him as with all the international players. Certainly, we’ll take it on an individual basis.
