Newcastle striker Alexander Isak is a doubt for Saturday’s trip to Fulham which could see the Magpies go top of the Premier League.
The 24-year-old suffered eye and foot injuries during last Sunday’s 2-1 win at Wolves and Anthony Gordon is standing by to deputise in a central role.
Asked how the Sweden international was, head coach Eddie Howe said: ‘Good question, I’ll find out more today.
‘It was a strange one with his eye. The ball just grazed his eye and we felt at that time, that was the main reason for him coming off the pitch.
‘Then he had a knock to his foot as well, so he’s got a combination of the two. We’ll make a decision today.’
