Newcastle United are hoping to welcome back some key players when they host West Ham United at St James' Park after the two-week international break.
After exiting the FA Cup at the quarter-final stage to Manchester City, Eddie Howe's squad will enjoy a period of rest before jetting off to Dubai for a warm weather training camp.
United have 10 games remaining - beginning with West Ham on Saturday, March 30 - as they look to finish the Premier League campaign in the European qualification spots.
"As always there will be a period of relaxation after a very busy period," said Howe. "We've got to try and get players fit before our next game and then there will be a period of work where we will analyse [the Manchester City] game and pick the pieces up.
"We'll work on, I don't know what that will be but we'll look ahead to our next opponent and get some good work in, some fitness work in and come back stronger for it."
Howe was without seven players for the trip to the Etihad Stadium. Here, we take a look at Newcastle United absentee list in full and when each player is expected to return.
