Newcastle United will be desperate to get Allan Saint-Maximin and Callum Wilson back involved when they host Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday.
The Magpies' poor form has continued in the prolonged absence of the attacking pair, though Miguel Almiron did at least return prior to the international break.
That final match before the two-week hiatus was a 3-0 loss to fellow strugglers Brighton & Hove Albion, so Steve Bruce may be tempted to freshen things up this weekend.
However, that will largely depend on the fitness of Saint-Maximin and Wilson, with the former more likely to make his comeback here than his fellow attacker.
Dwight Gayle is among those in contention to come into the XI, as is Jeff Hendrick in midfield.
Goalkeeper Martin Dubravka is another doubt for the home side after missing Slovakia's draw with Malta last week through illness, so Karl Darlow may get the nod in goal.
Newcastle possible starting lineup: Darlow; Manquillo, Lascelles, Clark, Dummett; Willock, Shelvey, Hendrick; Joelinton, Almiron, Fraser
