Newcastle vs Southampton - Newcastle wait on Shelvey
Posted Saturday, March 10, 2018 by PA
Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez will make a late decision on the fitness of midfielder Jonjo Shelvey ahead of Saturday’s Premier League clash with Southampton.
Shelvey missed last weekend’s 2-0 defeat at Liverpool with a knee problem, but he is back in training and could be included for the home match against Saints.
Striker Islam Slimani is still working his way back from a thigh problem, while keeper Rob Elliot (back) and Jesus Gamez (ankle) are also out.
Southampton will again be without captain Steven Davis.
Midfielder Davis has missed the last three games with a hamstring problem and faces at least another week on the sidelines.
Defender Maya Yoshida (knee) and striker Charlie Austin (hamstring) remain on the casualty list.
