Papiss Cisse: (Knee) Suspension Over But Not Training
Cisse is eligible for Saturday's match against West Brom following a seven-match suspension, but he has yet to resume training after having a screw removed from his knee in March, the Hartlepool Mail reports.
Analysis:
Newcastle have lost every game during Cisse's suspension and are getting closer and closer to fighting off relegation. Cisse has been by far their best offensive weapon this season, but the fact that he's been unable to train for the procedure certainly puts a heavy cloud of doubt on his available for not only Saturday's match, but the two remaining after that.
