Newcastle predicted line-up vs Brighton: Huge Miguel Almiron and Joelinton call from Steve Bruce

Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce has some huge calls to make ahead of their relegation clash at lowly Brighton at the Amex Stadium tonight

Newcastle striker Miguel Almiron could make the squad after returning to training this week.

The Paraguay international has missed the last two games with a knee injury and will be assessed as head coach Bruce considers his options.

Fellow frontman Callum Wilson (hamstring) is also back on the grass, but the game will come too soon for both he and Allan Saint-Maximin (groin), while defender Fabian Schar continues his recovery from a knee problem.
