Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe says captain Bruno Guimaraes has “a chance” of returning on Saturday after missing 12 games with a hamstring injury.
“He is desperate to help the team, desperate to be involved, so there is a possibility,” added Howe.
Joelinton begins a two-match ban for accumulating 10 bookings this season.
Bournemouth remain without Justin Kluivert and Lewis Cook, although the latter is back in partial training.
They have no other absentees for the team’s first match since the announcement that head coach Andoni Iraola will leave the club at the end of the season.
Players out: Newcastle – Joelinton, Krafth, Schar Bournemouth – Cook, Kluivert
Doubt: Newcastle – Guimaraes
Key FPL notes:
● From Gameweek 28 onwards, no FPL midfielder has scored more goals than Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon (£7.4m, three).
● In Gameweek 32, Junior Kroupi (£4.6m) became the first teenager to score 10+ goals in his debut Premier League season since Robbie Keane for Coventry City in 1999-00. He has scored in back-to-back matches for Bournemouth.
● Cherries defender Marcos Senesi (£5.2m) has picked up more defensive contribution points than any other defender (44) this season. He is the sixth-highest scoring defender in the game with 141 points.
