Team News: Newcastle United injury news ahead of Everton

Newcastle United could be without both Jonjo Shelvey and Joelinton to face Everton tonight.

The Magpies will be looking to push themselves further away from the relegation zone when facing a team below them, as they attempt to get back to winning ways after losing to Chelsea at the weekend.

"Jonjo Shelvey we are waiting to see, he has not trained yet he is a slightly bigger concern. Joelinton is going to be touch and go," Eddie Howe said to the press.

"We have a decision to make on whether we look after him with the break we have afterwards or whether we push him back out there. We will have to make our mind up."

There are also concerns surrounding Joe Willock and Ryan Fraser, who both missed the recent match against Chelsea, but Allan Saint-Maximin could feature from the start after getting some minutes last weekend.

Of course, the Magpies will also be missing Callum Wilson, Kieran Trippier and Federico Fernandez, who are all out of action with long-term injuries.

Newcastle United could climb above both Leicester City and Brighton & Hove Albion with a victory tonight, which would move them into 12th place.
