Shay Given is likely to miss out on Newcastle's crunch game with Inter Milan after dislocating his finger in training last week. Although the Irish international travelled with the squad to Italy on Sunday, Steve Harper is on stand-by for Sir Bobby for his third European start of the season.

New 'keeper Tony Caig will also be desperate to make his United debut after he was sigend by Newcastle in January.

However, Geordie-boy Harper is expected to be rewarded for his loyal and proffessional approch to his Newcastle career, and rightly so.
