Injury rules Bowyer out for Magpies

Lee Bowyer is out of Newcastle’s Premiership clash with Liverpool after failing to shake off a groin injury.

Frenchman Laurent Robert, who was rested for the 1-1 draw at Wolves last weekend, is likely to return and Jermaine Jenas, who has been unwell, Hugo Viana, Nolberto Solano and Darren Ambrose are included in the squad.
