Newcastle United were dealt a fresh injury concern during Saturday afternoon's 1-0 defeat to Luton Town.
Club skipper Jamaal Lascelles limped off in the 37th minute, not long after Andros Townsend's header decided the Premier League tie at Kenilworth Road. The loss was United's seventh of the campaign, and their sixth away from home.
Eddie Howe welcomed back Fabian Schar into his starting XI but when one player makes an injury comeback, another falls foul. And so that proved with Lascelles' withdrawal.
Newcastle remained Joelinton (hamstring), while Sandro Tonali (suspended), Nick Pope (shoulder), Jacob Murphy (shoulder), Harvey Barnes (foot), Joe Willock (Achilles), Elliot Anderson (back), Javier Manquillo (groin) and Matt Targett (hamstring).
With the fixtures against the likes of Nottingham Forest, Liverpool and Sunderland to come in quick succession, NewcastleWorld takes a look at United's lengthy injury list and when each player is expected to return:
