Tim Krul is out of Newcastle's Barclays Premier League trip to Everton on Monday night after suffering an elbow injury on international duty.
The Holland keeper could miss three games with the problem, which he sustained in training, and he may be joined on the sidelines by central defender Fabricio Coloccini, who returned from the Argentina camp with a hamstring strain which makes him a major doubt.
Midfielder Cheick Tiote is still out with the calf injury which has sidelined him since the opening day of the season, as are utility man Ryan Taylor (knee ligaments), midfielder Haris Vuckic (groin) and striker Shola Ameobi (hamstring), but defenders James Perch (neck) and Shane Ferguson (groin) and midfielder Sammy Ameobi (hamstring) are available once again.
Provisional squad: Harper, Elliot, Santon, Ferguson, Tavernier, Williamson, S Taylor, Cabaye, Gutierrez, Obertan, Marveaux, Gosling, Anita, Bigirimana, Amalfitano, Sammy Ameobi, Cisse, Ba, Campbell.
