Newcastle trio miss out on United clash

Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan will be without Stephen Carr and Emre for tomorrow’s Premier League clash with Manchester United.

The Irishman is out with a hamstring problem, while the Turkey international has a calf strain.

Striker Obafemi Martins, who returned from the African Nations Cup with an ankle injury, will miss out once again, although Frenchman Charles N’Zogbia is available after serving a one-match ban and goalkeeper Shay Given has returned to training from a groin problem.

Provisional squad: Given, Harper, Forster, Beye, N’Zogbia, Enrique, Cacapa, Taylor, Faye, Edgar, Butt, Smith, Milner, Duff, Barton, LuaLua, Owen, Viduka, Ameobi, Carroll.
