Benjamin Mendy was not seen aboard Manchester City's private jet to Newcastle after knee-bumpers prevented him from defeating Burnley on Saturday.
The left-back has made his comeback in the team after two months of absence with a substitute appearance against Burton last week, but he now looks set to miss a second consecutive game due from another fitness problem.
Fabian Delph and Aleks Zinchenko also missed Burnley's win this weekend and do not seem to have made it to Tyneside.
Vincent Kompany is definitely hurt.
A win at St James's Park is imperative for City if it wants to keep up the pressure on league leaders, Liverpool, who host Leicester City on Wednesday night.
Pep Guardiola admitted Monday in his press conference that it would be difficult for his team to reorganize the Anfield club 15 days from the end of the season.
"I would say it's not breaking it (last season) [100-point] The record, whatever, is important, but we will have to win a lot of games to be champions, yes, said Guardiola. They (Liverpool) are not going to lose a lot.
"I do not know what we have to do to win the title, but I'm sure we'll have to win a lot of games and the first is Newcastle.
"They (Liverpool) are not going to drop a lot in the Premier League, we 'll be demanding to be there, all we can do is be there.
