Rob Elliot has declared himself fit to spare Newcastle a goalkeeping crisis ahead of Saturday's Barclays Premier League trip to Bournemouth.
The Republic of Ireland international aggravated a thigh injury during last weekend's 0-0 home draw with Stoke with Tim Krul (cruciate ligament) and Karl Darlow (ankle) already out, but with 18-year-old Freddie Woodman waiting in the wings, Elliot has returned to training and is available.
Full-backs Daryl Janmaat (knee) and Kevin Mbabu (hamstring) are also fit, but defenders Steven Taylor (hamstring) and Massadio Haidara (groin), midfielders Jack Colback (knee), Gabriel Obertan (hamstring) and Rolando Aarons (ankle) and striker Emmanuel Riviere (knee) are still out.
Provisional squad: Elliot, Woodman, Janmaat, Mbabu, Dummett, Coloccini, Mbemba, Lascelles, Anita, Tiote, Wijnaldum, Sissoko, Thauvin, De Jong, Gouffran, Mitrovic, Cisse, Perez, Toney.
