Eddie Howe has been handed a triple boost ahead of the clash with Fulham with Newcastle United's injury crisis clearing up.
Howe has confirmed that Bruno Guimaraes will be involved after a thigh problem while Callum Wilson is also in the squad. United will also make a call on Allan Saint-Maximin as he edges closer to fitness.
Speaking at his Press conference today, Howe said: "Bruno has trained with us and I have taken a few difficult phone calls over the international break with players.

"But Bruno has come back and the scan was good. "He has trained and trained well. He needs his match sharpness back but physically he's fine. He is in the squad."
Howe has also given an update on Alexander Isak. The Sweden international returned early from duty.
Howe said: "Alex picked up an injury so he's come back. The scan doesn't look too bad so we are not overly concerned. With any muscle injury there's always a slight caution and you have to be careful. He is running on grass."
And speaking on Saint-Maximin, Howe said: "He is doing well. He is very close."
Elliot Anderson has also trained and may be in contention for Fulham.
