Newcastle still missing duo

Newcastle duo Craig Bellamy and Laurent Robert will again be missing as Sir Bobby Robson’s side attempt to book their place in the Champions League tomorrow night.

Bellamy (knee) and Robert (back) are both close to returning to full training, but are not involved in a 20-man squad for the second leg of their qualifier against NK Zeljeznicar.

Provisional squad: Given, Harper, Karelse, Hughes, Bernard, Elliott, Griffin, Dabizas, Bramble, O’Brien, Speed, Dyer, Solano Jenas, Viana, McClen, Kerr, Shearer, LuaLua, Ameobi.
