Enrique could return for Magpies

Newcastle full-back Jose Enrique could return for Monday night's must-win Barclays Premier League clash with Portsmouth.

Newcastle full-back Jose Enrique could return for Monday night's must-win Barclays Premier League clash with Portsmouth.

The Spaniard, the club's only senior specialist left-back, has missed the last two games with a knee injury, but is due to resume full training over the weekend and could figure.

Strikers Obafemi Martins (groin) and Mark Viduka (Achilles) have suffered no reaction to their returns to action at Tottenham last Sunday, but Steven Taylor (ankle) and Joey Barton (fractured metatarsal) remain doubts.

Provisional squad: Harper, Forster, Krul, Beye, Enrique, Bassong, Coloccini, Edgar, Cacapa, Butt, Duff, R. Taylor, Gutierrez, Nolan, Guthrie, Lovenkrands, Geremi, Smith, Martins, Owen, Viduka, Carroll, Xisco, Ranger.
