Midfielder Rob Lee is out of Newcastle’s Premiership trip to Leicester with a groin injury.

The 35-year-old is close to a return, but will not be risked at Filbert Street.

Striker Carl Cort is a month away from a return after knee surgery, but manager Bobby Robson will not rush him back before he is ready.
