Bellamy back for West Brom clash

Newcastle striker Craig Bellamy returns to the squad for tomorrow’s Premiership clash with West Brom at St James’ Park.

The 23-year-old Welshman missed the 2-0 Champions League defeat by Juventus through suspension and did not play at Birmingham last Saturday as he recovered from a knee problem, but is likely to return to the starting line-up tomorrow.

However, Portuguese teenager Hugo Viana will miss out with a slight groin strain while Clarence Acuna (thigh) and Carl Cort (hamstring) continue their return to fitness.

Team (from): Given, Harper, Hughes, Griffin, Elliott, Bernard, Dabizas, O’Brien, Bramble, Speed, Dyer, Solano, Robert, Jenas, Shearer, Bellamy, Ameobi, LuaLua.
