Newcastle United's World Cup duo Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson have returned to Tyneside in preparation for next week's League Cup clash against AFC Bournemouth.
The pair were the first back from the tournament in Qatar with Eddie Howe set to confirm when Switzerland's Fabian Schar and Brazil's Bruno Guimaraes returns while Nick Pope is also due back next week.
It remains to be seen whether the pair would be available for the encounter with the Cherries in the last 16 of the cup tie at St James' Park. Trippier has been used as an effective substitute in the last two rounds against Tranmere, coming on to create goals at Prenton Park in the 2-1 then stepping up to take a penalty against Crystal Palace in the shoot-out.
