Steve Bruce has declared Callum Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin are both fit for the trip to Liverpool.
Wilson was not pictured in training on Thursday but Bruce stated he usually sits out training at the end of the week.
The Toon boss though will have the striker and the French winger Saint-Maximin in his squad for the clash at Anfield.
Bruce said: "Allan has only played two 90 minutes this year. He's overcome Covid.
"Every Newcastle fan I bump into says: 'How's Allan?' He's OK.
"It was a kick to his ankle, he will always take a few whacks."
And on Wilson, as well as the returning Fabian Schar, Bruce added: "It was normal for Callum, he always takes it easy on a Thursday. But he's OK too.
"Fab Schar has trained all week, maybe the weekend is too soon."
Bruce also confirmed that Karl Darlow and Ryan Fraser will be missing for the clash om Merseyside.
Bruce said: "Karl Darlow has had a small operation on his knee so he will be out for a few weeks.
"Apart from him and Ryan Fraser everybody is fit."
