Defender Steven Taylor will return to the Newcastle squad for Saturday's home clash with Peterborough.
The 23-year-old has missed the last four games with a hamstring injury, and saw Hungarian youngster Tamas Kadar line-up alongside Fabricio Coloccini in central defence at Sheffield United on Monday evening.
Manager Chris Hughton told the club's official website: "Steven could have probably, at a push, played against Sheffield United. We chose not to risk him and that decision paid off. But he will be fine for the weekend and we look forward to welcoming him back."
He added: Taylor missed successive Coca-Cola Championship defeats at Nottingham Forest and Scunthorpe, as well as the wins over Doncaster and the Blades which took the Magpies back to the top of the table.

I Bloody do hope hes back they said that for f ing sheffield game and he was never bloody there
Yvonne, 6.GATESHEAD, a town divided in two, half Newcastle supporters the other half Sunderland supporters. When your fav team is playing away, if your home town is playing at home, go and support them. Just think, big crowds, plenty of money with the chance of league football.
Sadly Yvonne I think your rallying cry will fall on deaf ears, I always look out for Gatesheads results, but like you say Half Sunderland and Newcastle and both these teams are to big now for the Borough to claw it back in my opinion.You've only got to look at the attempts of the sandancers over the years and they did get big crowds in excess of 20,000 once upon a time, and now most of them are Mackems.
Unfortunately they are all swallowed up by the giants either side.What also makes it impossible is the close proximity of the big two, who have pulling powers from the border at Berwick down to Richmond in Yorkshire and almost over to the west coast
Still it was great to rekindle our Durham cup rivalries with the Borough close season.
Shaun, I'm gonna have 2 pints at half time. I'll buy you 1 too. But think maybe your too young to drink. You want a coke?
Shaun, you are missing the point by a MILE. If you feel like that STAY OUT OF YOUR SEAT ALTOGETHER!!! Oh you've got a season ticket. You've paid a couple of hundred quid for your passion, Ashley has paid a couple of hundred MILLION. Your still making me laugh by the way.

I wonder how many thousands of toon fans will show their support for the Ashley regime, by buying beer, pop, pies and burgers etc for themselves and their kids at this weekends game. PLEASE. BOYCOTT EVERY REVENUE STREAM AVAILABLE TO ASHLEY. STAY AWAY FROM THE GROUNDS CATERING OUTLETS AND BARS. BOYCOTT THE CLUB SHOP. AND YOU PEOPLE THAT BUY YOUR GEAR FROM SPORTS DIRECT SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES.
STAY AT YOUR SEATS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME AND AT HALF TIME, AT EVERY HOME GAME, UNTIL HE EITHER STARTS TO SHOW US SOME RESPECT ( NEVER ), OR UNTIL HE LEAVES.
COME ON. SHOW SOME CLASS. BOYCOTT THE LOT. SHOW SOME SOLIDARITY AND STAY AT YOUR SEATS. WE'LL GET EVERYBODY ON OUR SIDE IF WE SHOW SOME CLASS AND STICK TOGETHER. VIVA LA TOON
