The NUFC head coach has to pick two from Sven Botman, Fabian Schar and Dan Burn for tonight's game with Wolves

Newcastle United are back at St James’ Park tonight when they take on Wolves in the Premier League and Eddie Howe has some big decisions to make.

EDDIE HOWE was delighted with Sven Botman’s return to action in today’s 2-1 win at Tottenham – and is confident the Newcastle United defender did not suffer another injury issue in the closing stages of the game. Botman made his first appearance since March to end an absence of almost ten months after undergoing cruciate-ligament surgery.

With Fabian Schar suspended, the Dutchman started his second game in four games after being welcomed back into Howe's setup following a 294-day absence courtesy of an ACL injury. Botman, again, excelled alongside Dan Burn as the Magpies kept Arsenal out to take a healthy 2-0 lead into the reverse fixture at St James' Park next month.

Eddie Howe has made nine changes to Newcastle United for the second successive game with Sven Botman, Alexander Isak and Jacob Murphy all back.
