Magpies get lift with return of Given and Martins
Newcastle could be boosted by the returns of Shay Given and Obafemi Martins for tomorrow night’s Premier League clash with Manchester United.
The Irishman has resumed training after recovering from the groin injury he suffered at Aston Villa a fortnight ago, while the Nigeria striker has shaken off the ankle problem with which he returned from the African Nations Cup.
Charles N’Zogbia is available after missing the game at Villa Park through suspension, while Abdoulaye Faye, who only made the bench for that game, could also figure.
Provisional squad: Given, Harper, Forster, Carr, Beye, N’Zogbia, Enrique, Cacapa, Taylor, Faye, Edgar, Butt, Smith, Milner, Duff, Emre, Barton, LuaLua, Owen, Viduka, Ameobi, Martins, Carroll.
