Eddie Howe has given team news for Newcastle United as they travel to play in Azerbaijan.
The Toon face **Qarabag**on Wednesday, and a big boost comes with the return of a midfielder.
"**Joelinton* is back in the squad so that's a great boost for us. He's such an important player, such a big presence within our squad, such a real leader.*
"He trained [on Monday] and trained well, and felt really good. No one else from the missing list, I think, has travelled from the last game so we're missing quite a few players, quite a few real quality players as well. They're big misses for us, but we come in here good spirits from our last two games.
"We will play our strongest team in the sense that we will try and win the game. There'll be no thinking of the schedule ahead; this game, in isolation, is hugely important.
*"**Lewis Miley*has made good progress in the last few days. We're quite happy with his progress. He's had a number of scans; it came from a knock, which seems quite strange, but just a bad dead leg gave some muscle disruption. As soon as that muscle is healed, which we think it is, we can push him on.
"We've spoken with, and Bruno Guimaraes spoke with our medical team. We've been in consultation with the Brazilian national team. He's going this week with Brazil and then comes back to us for the last four weeks. I think it's a good mix for Bruno; initial stages of not doing too much, he gets a sort of mental refresh while doing some good work, and then comes back to finish off his final part.
*"**Emil Krafth*has had an operation on his knee so I think in all likelihood, it looks like the season is over, which is a real blow for us. He first had the problem on international duty.
“We hoped that he could come back and be okay, but it became apparent in training recently that he wasn't going to get to the level needed, and there needed to be a surgical intervention."
