Newcastle face major injury crisis

Newcastle boss Sir Bobby Robson is facing a major injury crisis ahead of tomorrow night's UEFA Cup semi-final, first leg clash with Marseille.

Craig Bellamy, Kieron Dyer and Lee Bowyer (all hamstring) are major doubts, as is Jermaine Jenas, who damaged a thigh muscle in the 0-0 draw at Aston Villa on Sunday.

Titus Bramble and Shola Ameobi both missed that game with thigh problems, and although Robson will hope to have both at his disposal, he will not select his team until lunchtime at the earliest.
