Newcastle captain Jamaal Lascelles has not ruled out returning for Saturday's clash with Leicester City.
The centre-back has been recovering from a foot injury.
"I trained for the first time this week and it gave me a good indication of how my foot is holding up. I will train again tomorrow, it will be more intense and I will see how I get on. It's hard to watch especially when the team is not doing great.
"I feel responsible. I am trying hard to get back as soon as possible and fingers crossed it can be Saturday.
"You want to get back but hopefully after a good week of training I can be back in the team on Saturday."
