Newcastle United are missing three key players for their Premier League clash with Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Eddie Howe will be without some important stars for Newcastle United vs Nottingham Forest as he looks to record only his second Premier League win of the season.

Newcastle have struggled domestically this season but will hope things clicked into place following Wednesday night’s 4-0 win over Union Saint-Gilloise in the Champions League.

They are strong favourites for Sunday’s game at St James’ Park but will have to do it with a weakened squad.

With that in mind, here’s all you need to know on the latest Newcastle United team news.

Newcastle United confirmed team news vs Nottingham Forest

On Friday, the Newcastle United manager confirmed that Jacob Ramsey could return to action.

The former Aston Villa midfielder hasn’t played since a draw away at Leeds in late August, having suffered an ankle injury at Elland Road.

However, Ramsey has made good progress on his return from injury and will likely be in the squad for Sunday’s match.

Newcastle United injuries vs Nottingham Forest

Tino Livramento has suffered a knee injury for Newcastle, although it isn’t as bad as initially feared.

There is hope that Livramento will return after the November international break, which is a much better outcome than what was initially feared after he was stretchered off against Arsenal.

Yoane Wissa has suffered a fresh setback on his recovery from a knee injury and is now not expected back until November.

Newcastle United predicted XI vs Nottingham Forest

Howe is expected to rotate, with his team having played on Wednesday.

Lewis Hall could start at left-back, while Jacob Murphy and Lewis Miley will be pushing for starts.

Newcastle United predicted XI: Pope; Trippier, Schar, Burn, Hall; Tonali, Guimaraes, Miley, Murphy, Woltemade, Gordon  

Injured: Livramento (knee), Wissa (knee)
