The Brazilian joins Nick PopeHarvey Barnes and Joe Willock among the notable absentees for the Magpies, with Callum Wilson and Jacob Murphy close to making first-team returns.

Eddie Howe's side then visit Aston Villa in the Premier League on Tuesday 30 January.

Newcastle have lost their last four matches in the competition and currently sit 10th in the table.
