Bellamy faces late fitness check

Newcastle boss Bobby Robson will make a late check on striker Craig Bellamy ahead of tomorrow night’s UEFA Cup fourth round, second leg clash with Real Mallorca in Palma.

The frontman, who was involved in an incident with first-team coach John Carver at Newcastle International Airport as the squad prepared to fly out yesterday, is battling to recover from a hamstring injury and Shola Ameobi is standing by.
