Injuries & Absentees

Newcastle face a defensive reshuffle with Dan Burn (ankle), Joelinton (thigh), and Tino Livramento (calf) ruled out. This forces Matthias Jaissle to rely on Malick Thiaw and a returning Sven Botman. Bournemouth are missing Amine Adli and Julian Araujo, which limits their creativity in wide transitions.
