NEWCASTLE UNITED midfielder Jonjo Shelvey is available for tomorrow's Premier League trip to Watford after a five-game absence.
Shelvey's recovery from a thigh injury is timely for manager Rafael Benitez, with Ki Sung-yueng now away on international duty with South Korea at the Asian Cup.
Benitez has only keeper Karl Darlow (elbow) and defender Ciaran Clark (ankle) missing, with Florian Lejeune now available after a lengthy lay-off with knee ligament damage.
Provisional squad: Dubravka, Woodman, Yedlin, Dummett, Manquillo, Fernandez, Lascelles, Schar, Shelvey, Diame, Hayden, Kenedy, Ritchie, Murphy, Atsu, Longstaff, Perez, Rondon, Joselu, Muto.
