No new headaches for Keegan

Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan has no fresh injury problems ahead of tomorrow’s crucial Barclays Premier League clash with Fulham.

Shay Given is out for six weeks after undergoing surgery on his groin injury this week, while James Milner (foot), Emre (calf) and Stephen Carr (hamstring) will be out for several weeks yet.

Damien Duff, Alan Smith and Charles N’Zogbia were all left out of the starting line-up at Birmingham on Monday night, but all three are fit and fighting for returns.

Provisional squad: Harper, Forster, Beye, Enrique, Taylor, Faye, Cacapa, Edgar, Butt, N’Zogbia, Duff, Barton, Geremi, Owen, Smith, Martins, Viduka, Carroll.
