Shay Given and Robert Lee are out of Newcastle’s fourth round Worthington cup clash with Ipswich Town this evening.
Both players picked up knocks in the Magpies’ 1-0 defeat of Derby at the Weekend. Given will be particularly missed. The Irish International has been in outstanding form all season, and saved a penalty from Fabrizio Ravenelli at the weekend, which won the game for the Toon. That said, Newcastle have a more than able replacement in Steve Harper.
Alan Shearer and Laurent Robert are also both doubtful, but should play some part in the game.
