Debuchy out for nervy Newcastle

Newcastle full-back Mathieu Debuchy will miss tomorrow’s vital Premier League trip to West Ham through suspension.

The France international was sent off for two bookable offences during last weekend’s 6-0 drubbing by Liverpool at St James’ Park and will sit out the game at Upton Park as a result.

Left-back Massadio Haidara has also been sidelined by a hamstring injury, while keeper Tim Krul (dislocated shoulder), full-back Davide Santon (hamstring) and midfielder Sylvain Marveaux (groin) are all still out, although skipper Fabricio Coloccini could return from a long-term back problem.

Provisional squad: Elliot, Harper, Simpson, S. Taylor, Coloccini, Williamson, Yanga-Mbiwa, Perch, Tiote, Bigirimana, Cabaye, Anita, Gutierrez, Ben Arfa, Gosling, Obertan, Sissoko, Cisse, Gouffran, Ameobi, Campbell.
