Dwight Gayle faces a late fitness check to see if he's available to face Arsenal tomorrow.
The striker, who has been used just four times this season, has picked up a muscle injury but returns to the training field on the eve of Newcastle United's tough clash at the Emirates Stadium.
When asked to assess the injury situation, stand-in coach Jason Tindall said today: "Dwight Gayle was feeling his hamstring slightly so that's one that will be assessed today.

"Other than that there's been no new injury concerns for us with a training session still to do today."
United have recorded training sessions each day from Benton before filing them to Howe at his hotel room.
Howe will be back in the dugout at Arsenal after getting the green light from medics on Friday morning.
Tindall added: "Eddie has seen training back every day.
"We film it and that will then be sent to him in the afternoon to review it back, as will we as coaches.
"Then we will feedback what's necessary to the players the following day."
