Newcastle United fans hope Brazilian international Bruno Guimaraes will return to Eddie Howe's starting line-up to face Bournemouth as supporters have selected their XI for the Magpies Saturday clash.
Guimaraes has missed Newcastle's last three fixtures after picking up an injury following the Magpies League Cup win over Tranmere Rovers in late August.
The start of the new season has not been kind to Howe and co on the injury front, with Allan Saint-Maximin and Callum Wilson also missing time this term.

While the addition of Alexander Isak mitigates their absence slightly in attack, Newcastle would certainly like to have two of their most dynamic players available sooner rather than later.
Howe was tight lipped at his Friday press conference and was keen to give nothing major away over the fitness of the injured trio who all sound to be making progress.
And supporters have had their say on who they want to see start for Newcastle when they take on Bournemouth this afternoon following the postponement of last weekends clash against West Ham United.
Nick Pope is the obvious choice between the sticks for Newcastle fans, with Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schar, Sven Botman and Matt Targett making up the Magpies back four.
Newcastle supporters reckon that if Guimaraes has recovered from his injury, Howe should start him alongside Joelinton and Joe Willock in midfield.
It will be interesting to see whether the Newcastle boss springs a surprise decision in midfield against Bournemouth. He does have options and could opt to continue to play Sean Longstaff or give youngster Elliot Anderson a chance to shine.
Up front, Miguel Almiron is the fans' choice to start on the right-wing, with Saint-Maximin selected on the left. Should the French winger be unavailable, Ryan Fraser will almost certainly start. And Alexander Isak is tipped to lead the line.
Last time out, the Swedish striker saw his home debut against Crystal Palace ruined by Eagles shot stopper Vicente Guaita, who produced a point blank save to prevent Isak from scoring in front of the Gallowgate end.
Hopefully this time around Isak can find the back of the net against Bournemouth.
Newcastle United Fans XI to face Bournemouth (4-3-3): Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Targett; Guimaraes, Joelinton, Willock; Almiron, Isak, Saint-Maximin
