Joe Willock is facing a late fitness test ahead of the Carabao Cup final with Eddie Howe refusing to discount him from Sunday's Wembley showpiece.
The Newcastle United midfielder was missing in the 2-0 defeat against Liverpool after suffering a hamstring injury in the draw at AFC Bournemouth. Eddie Howe's midfield options have already been boosted by the return of banned Brazil international Bruno Guimaraes who will walk straight back into the starting line-up.
Sean Longstaff is another likely starter while Howe will wait on Willock before deciding where to field Joelinton and assess youngster Elliot Anderson's chances on the big day.
