Paul Dummett

Back in training Dummett (undisclosed) returned to training this week, but Wednesday's Cup match comes too soon.

Impact Dummett should again be an option for the Newcastle back line, but since he hasn't played since January, he'll likely be eased back into the squad. Despite starting 14 matches last season when healthy, he may be viewed as more of a bench option at this point.

Too soon to return Dummett (undisclosed) is still not ready and won't be an option for Sunday's match, according to manager Steve Bruce.

Impact Dummett is simply there for depth and Newcastle seem to be taking his return slowly. Of course, he hasn't played since January, so he still has to fight through a lack of fitness, which may only be adding to the constant injury issues.

To miss opener Dummett (undisclosed) "has an ongoing problem" and "hasn't fully recovered" ahead of Saturday's match against West Ham, according to manager Steve Bruce.

Impact It's unclear what the exact injury is for Dummett, who hasn't played since January. He injured his hamstring in January, but he wasn't allowed to play after the restart because Newcastle weren't allowed to make squad changes. While this could be related to his hamstring injury, it's been eight months since that injury occurred.
