Emre returns to the Newcastle squad for Sunday's derby clash with Middlesbrough at St James' Park after completing his three-match ban.Mark Viduka could return from the calf injury which has prevented him from playing under new boss Kevin Keegan to date, but full-back Jose Enrique remains a doubt with a similar injury.

Joey Barton could figure at St James' Park for the first time since December 23, but David Rozehnal has left the club to join Lazio on loan.

Meanwhile Habib Beye and Abdoulaye Faye are on their way back to Tyneside from the African Nations Cup, although not in time for the Boro game.

Kick-off on Sunday is at 1.30pm.

Magpies (from): Given, Harper, Carr, N'Zogbia, Enrique, Cacapa, Taylor, Edgar, Butt, Smith, Milner, Duff, Emre, Barton, LuaLua, Owen, Viduka, Ameobi, Carroll.
