Newcastle boss Eddie Howe can't say if Sean Longstaff will play again this season.
Longstaff has suffered a foot injury, though scans have allayed concerns of it being serious.
Howe explained: "He went to see a specialist. There were a few concerns that there was maybe some sort of structural damage in his foot.
"There wasn't, which was good news, but there is a bit of damage to one of the ligaments. He's being re-scanned today, which we hope will show an improvement.
"It's slightly unclear when he'll be back but it's not a long-term issue at all. It's whether we can get him back before the end of the season. We've missed him a lot.
"I've always said this season he goes under the radar in terms of what he gives to the team tactically, technically and physically. He's a high-level player and he's got a really good football brain, so we've missed those qualities that he has. But, as always, you have to adapt when someone is missing and I believe we have the players to cover."
