Newcastle United star Miguel Almiron has been ruled out of tonight's clash with Nottingham Forest after Eddie Howe named his team to face the Reds.
The Paraguay star has suffered a thigh injury that was confirmed by his international manager earlier today (Friday).
Howe has named an unchanged team for his visit to the City Ground, but the loss of his top scorer is a considerable blow.

Howe also joined Sky Sports duo Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher before kick-off to talk about the Premier League clash at the City Ground.
And the former Bournemouth boss pinpointed one area his team cannot afford to be slack in against Forest if they are to pick up a result.
"They have a unique way of playing," he said. "They defend quite deep and then leave a couple of players up the pitch to try to hit you on counter-attacks.
"We have to be wary of that. We have to be very good with the ball and we don't want cheap turnovers because that could play into their hands."
