Trio ruled out
Newcastle United, 08:23, February 26, 2010 ,
Newcastle will be without Peter Lovenkrands against Watford on Saturday after the striker picked up a hamstring injury.
Lovenkrands had to leave the field against Preston last weekend but earlier in the week Magpies boss Chris Hughton was hopeful the striker would make the trip to Vicarage Road.
However the player was pulled out of training on Thursday and has not travelled to London with the rest of the Magpies squad after joining Shola Ameobi on the treatment table.
Meanwhile Jose Enrique has also lost his race to be fit as he struggles with a hamstring injury while midfielder Nicky Butt misses out again with a thigh problem.
