Newcastle United will play host to Wolverhampton Wanderers this weekend as Eddie Howe's Magpies look to climb back up towards the Champions League places with a win over Julen Lopetegui's side.
The Magpies have slipped down to sixth in the Premier League after a winless run of five matches means they've been leapfrogged by Tottenham and Liverpool in that time frame.
However, manager Eddie Howe confirmed the return of two of his most important stars, noting centre-back Fabian Schar has recovered from his concussion while Bruno Guimaraes has trained well this week and is likely to play on Sunday.

Here is Newcastle's injury and suspension list in full, and when those unavailable could return to action...
Joelinton - suspended
What Howe said (March 4): "It was probably inevitable it would come, although we’re desperately disappointed that it was today, given the two games we've got before the international break, that's going to be a long absence for him.
"I thought it was a harsh booking for him and he plays on the edge, he's a fierce competitor, I thought he played very well again today. We're certainly going to miss him."
Possible return date: 02/04/2023
Harrison Ashby - hamstring
What Howe said (March 10): "Harrison's picked up a very small hamstring problem. So he hasn't trained with the group for a few weeks."
Possible return date: 02/04/2023
Emil Krafth - knee
Howe said (Aug 30): "It's an ACL injury. He's not been operated on yet, so it's difficult to give a firm date, but it's going to be six to nine months. A long time out, which is a huge blow to us."
Possible return date: n/a
