Sandro Tonali concern
Tonali has started all eight of Newcastle’s Premier League matches so far this season but could be rested for a second successive match this weekend.
“After a game, you've got a couple of sore bodies to look at, but nothing serious,” Howe said. “Sandro's still the player we're monitoring. He did train on Wednesday but didn't feel 100 per cent, so he's the one that's probably touch and go for the game.”
Tonali ultimately remained on the bench while Tino Livramento, Lewis Hall and Yoane Wissa missed the match due to injury.
