Newcastle United's injury list has eased a little, despite Sunday evening's 4-1 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur.
While Eddie Howe remained without 10 first-team players for the visit to North London, the Magpies' head coach did welcome back Sean Longstaff and Callum Wilson to his matchday squad.
The pair had previously been sidelined for a month but both got half an hour under their belt after being introduced as second-half substitutes.
But Howe knows he still needs players back to cope with a hectic schedule of five games in 13 games. As it stands, the likes of Harvey Barnes, Sven Botman, Joe Willock and Dan Burn remain out.
Here, NewcastleWorld takes a look at Newcastle's current absentee list and when each player could return.
