No major worries for Robson

Sir Bobby Robson has few selection worries ahead of tomorrow night’s crucial Champions League qualifier against Partizan Belgrade.

Striker Craig Bellamy has recovered from a groin injury while defender Jonathan Woodgate is available again after a stomach complaint.

However, Hugo Viana (back) and Clarence Acuna (Achilles) were both left behind, as was Lomana LuaLua, whose visa did not arrive in time, so Robbie Elliott has been added to the squad.

PROVISIONAL SQUAD: Given, Harper, Caig, Griffin, Hughes, Bernard, Elliott, Woodgate, Bramble, O’Brien, S Caldwell, Speed, Dyer, Robert, Solano, Jenas, Shearer, Bellamy, Ameobi, Cort, Chopra.
