"Sunderland's Reinildo Mandava has been back in training following a groin injury and is in contention to return, while fellow left-back Dennis Cirkin could be available for a first appearance of the season. "Dennis is ready," said Le Bris. "He has trained properly now for two or three weeks and he's connected in the group. It's good news. Right now, we don't have many injuries.""
"Habib Diarra will return to full training next week following a groin injury but could feature for Senegal at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which starts on December 21. "He will need probably one or two weeks to be at his best after a good rehab programme and after that it depends on AFCON," assessed Le Bris. "We need to build his fitness level and after that, he will be ready. "The decision is with the national team. If they want to select the player, they can. It's not our decision.""
Reinildo Mandava has returned to training after a groin injury and is in contention to play. Dennis Cirkin has trained for two to three weeks and is integrated into the group, improving options at left-back. Habib Diarra will return to full training next week and will need one or two weeks to reach peak fitness following rehab; national team selection for AFCON will determine his availability. Luke O'Nien serves the first match of a three-game suspension after being dismissed at Manchester City. Several Newcastle players are doubtful or injured. The match kicks off at 14:00 GMT with live UK coverage on Sky Sports and streaming via Now TV and Sky GO.
