Newcastle United v Wolves Premier League injury news as 6 out and 1 doubt

Wolves make their way up to St James Park to face Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday.

Both sides were in FA Cup action and booked their place in to the quarter-finals. Newcastle played first, beating Blackburn Rovers on penalties and will now play Manchester City. Wolves played the day after and defeated Brighton & Hove Albion thanks to a second-minute goal from Mario Lemina.

Here's the latest injury and team news ahead of Saturday's clash.

Wolves team news

Wolves had two injury concerns from their win over Brighton and it's a case of good news and bad news. Hwang Hee-Chan is to undergo a scan to assess the damage of a hamstring issue. He could be seen holding the back of his leg prior to kick off for the second-half and he was forced off in the 56th minute. Gary O'Neil was certain on Wednesday that Saturday's game would come too soon for him.

Goalscorer Lemina is thankfully okay to play after suffering a kick. He was asked at full-time how he was by his manager Lemina responded he'd be available for the weekend. The 30-year-old has played 26 games in all competitions and he's been a key player under O'Neil.

Matheus Cunha is Wolves only confirmed player that will miss next weekend's game. He suffered a 'significant' hamstring injury which has at least ruled him out of next months' international fixtures.

In an update on the Brazilian's status, O'Neil said: "He's doing well. He's been back on the grass and done some light jogging. His gym stuff is going well; he'll probably have a scan in the next week or so to see the progress of the healing.'

Out: Matheus Cunha, Doubt: Hwang Hee-Chan.

Newcastle United team news

Midfielder Sandro Tonali is unavailable as his ten month ban issued to him by the Italian football federation continues. Tonali made a £55m move to Newcastle last summer but broke the country's gambling regulations and won't be available until next season.

Callum Wilson's expected to miss EURO 2024 after requiring surgery for a pectoral muscle problem. He is out for up to three months and that is likely to put to bed any hopes he had of playing in Germany.

Another player that is ruled out for the season or if not most of it is Joelinton. He had to undergo surgery in January for a thigh injury and is expected to be out until May.

Goalkeeper Nick Pope is out until early April after dislocating his shoulder which meant that he had to undergo surgery which has put him on the shelf from between four to five months. Loirs Karius and Martin Dubravka have played in his absence.

Matt Target underwent surgery on his hamstring in November and was expected to be out for three months. He's expected to return in the middle of March just before the international break. In one good bit of news, Sven Botman is expetced to play for the Toon at the weekend. He was rested against Blackburn and instead trained rather than being involved in their match.

Out: Callum Wilson, Joelinton, Matt Target, Nick Pope and Sandro Tonali.
