Newcastle United welcome back Celestine Babayaro for tomorrow's game with Wigan at St James' Park.
The Nigerian international has been sidelined since he limped off with a thigh injury in the FA Cup defeat at his former club Chelsea on March 22.
But the Easter programme will come too early for Newcastle's other injured players Michael Owen and Steven Taylor.
Wigan manager Paul Jewell will be without Stephane Henchoz and David Connolly due to hamstring injuries.
Jewell has vowed to make changes for the game in an effort to give fringe players a run out over the final five fixtures of the season.
That could see the likes of Ryan Taylor, Matt Jackson, Damien Francis, Reto Ziegler and David Thompson handed a start.
Newcastle United squad: Given, Carr, Babayaro, Elliott, Ramage, Moore, Bramble, Solano, Emre, Bowyer, N'Zogbia, Shearer, Ameobi, Harper, Boumsong, Clark, Faye, Chopra, Luque.
Wigan Athletic squad: Filan, Chimbonda, Jackson, Camara, Johansson, McCulloch, Kavanagh, De Zeeuw, Francis, Scharner, Taylor, Teale, Bullard, Ziegler, Baines, Thompson, Roberts, Pollitt.
