Newcastle United injury and suspension update as Toon hope for quadruple boost for Liverpool clash
Following full-time against Bournemouth last week, Newcastle United fans were worried they'd picked up a trio of important injuries to add to their already long list of issues.
But manager Eddie Howe soothed some nerves by claiming that two were just knocks while another seemed a bit more serious as the Magpies prepare to host Liverpool at St. James' Park on Saturday.

Mohamed Salah's Liverpool prediction will worry Newcastle after rousing James Milner pep talk
Mohamed Salah believes the 'old' Liverpool is on its way back just in time for the trip to St James' Park this weekend. Newcastle United welcome Jurgen Klopp's side to Tyneside for Saturday's late kick-off after watching them beat Everton 2-0 in the Merseyside Derby.
Liverpool have struggled this season after an injury-laden campaign at Anfield. However, a win this weekend would see Liverpool move to within six points of Newcastle and a top-four spot.
Salah was back among the goals on Monday evening and says a positive pep talk from Liverpool veterans Jordan Henderson and James Milner has the Reds believing they are close to returning to top form.
Liverpool 'ignite Newcastle fires', coach's apology dig and Eddie Howe 'very demanding' of staff
"YOU F------ DESERVE IT!" the Liverpool supporter hissed as Newcastle United players and staff left the field to a chorus of boos at Anfield. Liverpool had just won the game 2-1, following a dramatic 98th-minute winner, yet you would not have known it.
It was a night where emotions ran high last August; Liverpool goalkeeping coach John Achterberg stuck two fingers up at the visiting bench after Fabio Carvalho's winning goal while Dan Hodges, Newcastle's head of performance, threw a bottle. In a written apology to the FA's independent regulatory commission, Achterberg could not help but admit that he 'felt satisfied that Newcastle’s apparent attempt to delay the match had not been successful' as he explained his actions.
However, the manner of that loss only brought an already tight-knit group at Newcastle closer together. This was not a feeling Eddie Howe and his players wanted to experience again.
