Newcastle United are boosted by the return of three players for this afternoon’s Premier League clash away to Fulham.

Matias Fernandez-Pardo and Lewis Miley are back in the squad after missing three matches through illness and a glute problem, respectively, while Tino Livramento is a somewhat surprise inclusion as he returns from a knee injury.

Livramento missed the last six matches and was widely expected to remain out until after the international break, but he makes the bench today alongside Fernandez-Pardo and Miley.
