Eddie Howe has confirmed injury setbacks for Newcastle United duo Harvey Barnes and Joe Willock.
Barnes, who joined from Leicester City for £38million in the summer, hasn't featured since sustaining a toe injury in the early stages of the Magpies' 8-0 win at Sheffield United in September.
Willock was previously sidelined for five months whilst he recovered from a hamstring and later an Achilles injury before he suffered a recurrence of the latter last month.
But the pair aren't the only players on the sidelines through injury. Callum Wilson, Sean Longstaff and Dan Burn have recently returned from injury but the likes of Nick Pope, Elliot Anderson, Jacob Murphy and Matt Targett remain out.
Here, NewcastleWorld takes a look at Newcastle's injury list and when each player could return to action.
