Newcastle United are without two key players for the Premier League fixture versus Burnley.

Newcastle United are without Callum Wilson and Sven Botman for this afternoon’s Premier League clash against Burnley at St James’ Park (kick-off 3pm).

After both scoring in the Magpies’ 8-0 win at Sheffield United last Sunday, the pair were left out of the squad for the 1-0 win over Manchester City in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

Wilson had tightness in his hamstring while Botman had a knee issue. And following a late fitness on Friday, the duo have been ruled out against Vincent Kompany’s Clarets.
