Newcastle vs Liverpool - Perez expected to line up for Newcastle against Liverpool
Posted Friday, May 03, 2019 by PA
Newcastle striker Ayoze Perez is fit to face Liverpool on Saturday evening as the Premier League title race approaches its climax.
Perez limped off at Brighton last weekend with a hip problem after scoring his fifth goal in three games but has returned to training and is available to face the Reds.
Skipper Jamaal Lascelles also returns to contention after sitting out the game at the Amex Stadium through illness, leaving only central defender Florian Lejeune and midfielder Sean Longstaff (both knee ligaments) and full-back DeAndre Yedlin (groin) on the injury list.
Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino is a doubt for the trip to Tyneside.
The Brazil international tore a thigh muscle in training last week and although he came on as a late substitute in the Champions League defeat in Barcelona, he is unlikely to be risked with the second leg coming up on Tuesday.
Midfielder Naby Keita’s season has been ended by a groin injury sustained in the Nou Camp.
