Wanchope set to miss out

Paulo Wanchope is likely to miss tomorrow’s trip to Newcastle as manager Kevin Keegan returns to his old St James’ Park stomping ground.

Wanchope embarked on an arduous return trip to Central America in midweek where he turned out for Costa Rica in their international friendly against Finland and the City chief believes it will have taken too much out of the striker, so Robbie Fowler is set to partner Nicolas Anelka up front.
