Late checks for Magpies pair

Newcastle striker Mark Viduka and full-back Jose Enrique will undergo late fitness tests on hamstring injuries ahead of Monday’s Premier League trip to Derby.

Viduka limped off at half-time in the 1-0 win over Wigan, but has rested since, while £6.5m Enrique is yet to make his league debut.

New signings Habib Beye and Abdoulaye Faye are available for the first time, but Emre is a doubt after picking up a knee problem on international duty.

Peter Ramage (knee), Stephen Carr and Celestine Babayaro (both hamstring), Joey Barton (metatarsal) and Damien Duff (ankle) are all out.

Provisional squad: Harper, Given, Enrique, N’Zogbia, Rozehnal, Taylor, Cacapa, Faye, Edgar, Beye, Milner, Geremi, Butt, Smith, Pattison, Viduka, Martins, Ameobi, Owen.
