Joe Willock is a doubt for Newcastle United ahead of their trip to London to face West Ham United on Wednesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Newcastle United: Team News<\/h2>\n

Willock, who opened the scoring against Manchester United on Sunday, limped off towards the end of the 2-0 victory, with Eddie Howe uncertain whether it was cramp or a hamstring problem.<\/p>\n

Should the former Arsenal man fail a late fitness test, Joelinton is likely to take his place on the left side of a three-man midfield.<\/p>\n

Howe is unlikely to want to tinker too much following their impressive win over Erik ten Hag’s side.<\/p>\n

Although, he may be tempted to throw in Callum Wilson from the start after scoring the decisive goal from the bench at the weekend, with Alexander Isak making way.<\/p>\n

“I think we’re reasonably OK. There’s a few tired bodies in the squad – it was a really big physical effort for us in the game. But hopefully nothing too major,” Howe said during his pre-match press conference.<\/p>\n

On Wilson and Isak, he added: “I think we need them both fit, and we haven’t had that luxury on many occasions this season.<\/p>\n

“They’re both very different, but they’re both hugely important to us. You need goalscorers, and as many as you can get. That gives us real strength in depth.”<\/p>\n
