The international break has added to Newcastle United's injury woes as Bruno Guimaraes, Chris Wood and Alexander Isak all returned from international duty with injuries.
Guimaraes picked up a thigh injury in training last week and was an unused substitute in Brazil's 3-0 win over Ghana on Friday. He wanted to stay for the second of their international friendlies against Tunisia but returned to Newcastle as he aims to recover for Saturday's trip to Fulham.
Isak won't be available for this weekend after sustaining a leg injury in training for Sweden. He was forced to withdraw from the squad and missed their Nations League fixtures against Serbia and Slovenia respectively. Wood was taken off in the 31st minute of New Zealand's 2-0 defeat against Australia on Sunday with a rib injury.
