- N'Golo Kante suffered an injury set-back for France and is not fit to play here.
- Andreas Christensen suffered a hamstring injury for Denmark and is out for two weeks.
- Reece James withdrew from England's U21 squad through injury and is a doubt.
- Antonio Rüdiger has started training outside again and is closing in on a return.
- Mateo Kovacic picked up a leg injury in Croatia's 1-1 draw with Wales but has trained since.
- Ross Barkley played well for England on Monday night and will push to start against Newcastle.
- Despite scoring twice for France in the break, Olivier Giroud is not expected to start here.
- Steve Bruce should stick with the same side that started their 1-0 win over Manchester United before the international break. This would see Longstaff brothers, Matt and Sean, start in central midfield.
- Isaac Hayden is still suspended for the away side, while Matt Ritchie and Florian Lejeune remain sidelined through injury.
- Dwight Gayle and Jonjo Shelvey were back on the bench against United after stints out injured.
