Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce says skipper Jamaal Lascelles is a doubt for their clash with Everton.

The centre-back was withdrawn in the closing stages of last week's 1-1 draw at Wolves because of a foot injury that leaves him touch and go to face the early pace-setters in the league.

Bruce said: "We've only got one major concern from last week: the captain, who limped off. He's got a foot injury and we'll see how he is in the next 48 hours. But everyone else is OK."

The Longstaff brothers - Matty and Sean - are available following a thigh complaint and a bout of tonsillitis respectively.

Bruce added: "The one thing they do do is bring energy and leg work to the team and of course they're both very, very decent passers of the ball too.

"There's many times where I've played them together. They've both got something to offer."
