Newcastle United have at least 14 players ruled out for Tuesday night's Champions League clash at Paris Saint-Germain (8pm kick-off).
Fresh injury blows to Sean Longstaff and Joe Willock over the international break have added to The Magpies' already lengthy injury list. Eddie Howe's side will be boosted by the return of Lewis Hall after the left-back was ineligible for the 4-1 win against Chelsea on Saturday.
But four more United players are ineligible for the trip to Parc des Princes due to Champions League squad rules. Matt Ritchie, Emil Krafth, Mark Gillespie and Javier Manquillo have been omitted from Newcastle's Champions League squad and can't feature despite the injury crisis.
A number of members of Newcastle's squad are currently nursing long-term injury issues with the situation showing no sign of clearing up.
As a result, Howe could struggle to name a bench with several Under-21s players expected to be called-up into the squad once again.
Newcastle head into the game at PSG needing a result in order to keep their Champions League last-16 hopes alive. The Magpies won the reverse fixture 4-1 at St James' Park last month but have lost consecutive matches against Borussia Dortmund since - seeing them go from top of the group to bottom.
1. Jacob Murphy (calf)
Felt a tight calf in the warm-up at Nottingham Forest that rendered him 'unusable' for the match. He hasn't trained as of Friday morning but Howe didn't rule him out against Bournemouth. Expected return: AFC Bournemouth (H) - 17/02
2. Alexander Isak (groin)
Newcastle's top scorer was forced off during Tuesday's 3-1 win at Aston Villa with a groin issue. Eddie Howe said the player would 'probably not' be involved v Bournemouth but has made good progress. Expected return: Arsenal (A) - 24/02
3. Matt Targett (hamstring)
Matt Targett has been on the sidelines after picking up a hamstring injury in the opening minutes of Newcastle’s 3-0 Carabao Cup win against Manchester United. The left-back had surgery on his hamstring in November and given a three month recovery time. Howe has since confirmed Targett is back on the grass. Expected return: Blackburn Rovers (A) - 27/02
4. Joe Willock (Achilles)
Willock has reaggravated an Achilles injury and missed the win over Chelsea in November. Howe described the setback as a ‘massive blow’ and has since been ruled out for the past two months. He is close to a return. Expected return: Blackburn Rovers (A) - 27/02
