Newcastle boss Chris Hughton may have to do without key defenders Steven Taylor and Fabricio Coloccini once again for Tuesday night`s clash with Scunthorpe.
Taylor (hamstring) and Coloccini (groin) both missed Saturday's 1-0 Championship defeat at Nottingham Forest and are not expected to recover in time for the trip.
However, while Taylor will also struggle to make Saturday's home clash with Doncaster, the Argentina international is expected to be fit after almost a month on the sidelines.
Elsewhere, Hughton has only long-term injury victims Shola Ameobi and Joey Barton missing, both with long-term foot problems as the Magpies attempt to bounce back from a run of three games which has seen them take just two points and slip from the top if the table as a result.

WHY DO PEOPLE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE ASHLEY REGIME BY SPENDING MONEY AT THE GROUND ON BEER, DRINKS AND FOOD? SHAME ON EVERY FOOL WHO CONTINUES TO ADD TO ASHLEY'S REVENUE STREAM. WHEN YOUR SON / DAUGHTER ASKS YOU TOO BUY THEM A BURGER OR WHATEVER, SAY NO - SORRY, AND TELL THEM WHY. BECAUSE YOU ARE UNHAPPY WITH THE REGIME, AND BECAUSE THE TEAM IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO GRACE NEWCASTLE UNITED.
PLEASE. STOP GIVING ASHLEY YOUR MONEY. IT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE ! IF ASHLEY STOPS MAKING A PROFIT, HE'LL BE OFF. NO MORE GEORDIE CASH FOR ASHLEY
Ya doomed - Scunnie to win 2-0. TK, put a bet on it!
