Squad places for Bowyer, Dyer

Disgraced Newcastle duo Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer have been included in the squad for tomorrow night’s UEFA Cup quarter-final, first leg clash with Sporting Lisbon at St James’ Park.

The former Leeds midfielder and his fellow England international, who begin four and three-game domestic bans, respectively, at the weekend, are available for selection, although it is understood that Bowyer is unlikely to start.
