But former Ajax star Frank De Boer says Vuron Anita can easily do a good job.
The 23-year-old was forced to drop back into the right-back spot against Aston Villa, and he is one of several candidates to fill it against Everton on Monday night.
Danny Simpson is struggling with injury.
Frank De Boer: “Vurnon is a great player because he just changes position without complaining.
“He will drop into defender at left-back or right-back and just do the job for the team.
“He did that for me on many occasions with Ajax. I’m sure it will be the same at Newcastle.
“We know with Vurnon that whatever job you ask him to do he will give you every ounce of sweat he’s got.
“Newcastle have a great player on their hands.”
