Newcastle United heads to AFC Bournemouth for a Premier League clash that features two very injury-riddled sides. The visitors could get Sven Botman back into the mix here, but other than that, the injury list will likely remain the same.
There had been some hope of Alexander Isak returning to full fitness, but now it appears that he’ll be out until after the next international break.

Meanwhile Harvey Barnes, Elliot Anderson and Jacob Murphy all remain sidelined here. Finally, you have the long-term suspension of Sandro Tonali, due to his having breeched league betting rules.
After a slow start to the season, Newcastle are pushing towards the top four, hoping to finish in a slot that grants them a UEFA Champions League slot for the second straight year.
As for Bournemouth, they are hoping to avoid relegation, as they currently sit in the drop zone.
They should be able to welcome Lewis Cook back into the mix, although Marcos Senesi could be in contention too. Meanwhile they have a quartet of players who stand no chance in being involved.
Tyler Adams, Ryan Fredericks, Emiliano Marcondes and Neto are all set to miss out again.
