Rafa Benitez will have to shuffle his pack even more, after two defenders suffered late injuries ahead of the game against Leicester on Saturday.

The 'Magpies' have had a very difficult start to the season with their fixtures, and are still searching for their first win of the season.

The team were dealt a blow when Salomon Rondon had to be withdrawn in the previous match due to a thigh issue, and now it seems as though there will be even more injury woes.

As reported by the 'Daily Mail', defenders Federico Fernandez and Paul Dummett have picked up hamstring issues which means that they won't feature in the game against Leicester.

DeAndreYedlin is thought to be struggling but fit enough to play, meaning that two of Ciaran Clarke, Fabian Schar and Javier Manquillo will be in contention for the starting roles in the back four.
