Newcastle United could welcome back Allan Saint-Maximin and Bruno Guimaraes for the visit of Crystal Palace on Saturday. Both players missed the trip to Liverpool on Wednesday, where Newcastle fell to a last-gasp 2-1 defeat at Anfield.
It's expected that Alexander Isak will be available for selection despite suffering from a dead leg on his Newcastle debut. Isak scored on his first game for the Magpies, and will be hoping to keep up his form for the visit of Patrick Vieira's side.
Here are the Newcastle players who have been ruled out or are considered doubtful for the game against Palace.
Allan Saint-Maximin
Injury: Hamstring
What Eddie Howe said on September 2: "Bruno and Maxi are close. They weren't serious injuries but we'll wait and see whether they're available for this weekend."
Potential return date: 03/09/22
Bruno Guimaraes
Injury: Thigh
What Eddie Howe said on September 2: "Bruno and Maxi are close. They weren't serious injuries but we'll wait and see whether they're available for this weekend."
Potential return date: 03/09/22
Callum Wilson
Injury: Thigh
What Eddie Howe said on September 2: "Callum Wilson is slightly behind the other two."
Potential return date: 11/09/22
Emil Krafth
Injury: ACL
What Eddie Howe said on August 30: "It's an ACL injury. He's not been operated on yet, so it's difficult to give a firm date, but it's going to be six to nine months. A long time out, which is a huge blow to us."
Potential return date: N/A
Jonjo Shelvey
Injury: Hamstring
What Eddie Howe has said: "He’s had his operation and is out for around 12 weeks. He’s very disappointed but is in a much better place mentally after the op."
