And German attacker Nick Woltemade is among those expected to return to the XI.
Albion’s players and staff return to work today after some time off and will turn their focus to the game on Tyneside.
Toon were a little unlucky to lose 1-0 at Arsenal on Saturday and were encouraged by the efforts of two substitutes.
They include Woltemade, who was in great form as a striker when he scored at the Amex this season but has generally been used in deeper roles since then.
Yoane Wissa also stated a strong case to be part of the XI who face the Seagulls.
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said at the Emirates: “Nick did really well today.
“I thought Yoane and Nick both performed well when they came onto the pitch. All our subs delivered good performances.”
Howe hailed Bruno Guimaraes as “outstanding” as he returned from an injury absence which has been a factor in Newcastle’s run of nine defeats in the last 12 Prem outings.
Diego Gomez is expected to miss forthcoming games although both the Albion midfielder and his head coach Fabian Hurzeler have been positive about the knee injury the former suffered in the draw at Spurs.
Sources in Paraguay appear confident he will be fit in time for this summer’s World Cup finals.
Albion remained four points clear of Sunderland and three ahead of Everton as both lost for the second successive weekend.
Brentford will take sixth place if they win at Manchester United tonight.
