Newcastle boss Eddie Howe admits his squad is stretched after their 4-1 thrashing at Tottenham.
Howe concedes his players are "fatigued" as injuries take their toll.
He said: "It was a tough game for us, I thought Tottenham played really well. It's a difficult moment for us. We probably expected it to come a little bit earlier than it has. I think the lads have been really good to sustain the results that we were having.
"The last two have been tough games. Not us at our best. Physically we looked fatigued today and there was not much we could do about it.
"We were 2-0 down, trying to go for the game, I thought we were very good in that period. Then we conceded the third goal and the game changes. But we just have to keep going. The more players we can get back, everyone is so important."
"We'll look at the game and try and analyse it properly to work out who to select on Wednesday. We're not aflush with options. That's why I have to compliment the players because they've done so well in this difficult period. These last few games have been tough, but I think the lads are giving everything."
