The Newcastle striker is the Premiership's record goalscorer and has 13 Premiership goals to his name so far this campaign.
Acting boss David Pleat said: "He is in the hunt again for the Golden Boot, is a model professional and I think if you went to any Premiership manager and say to them, if they had a pick, they would go for him.
"That's not just because goalscorers are revered, or that he's British, or captain - he represents the club so well and he has done it consistently year after year.
"What a lot of people forget are the serious injuries he suffered.
"We'll have to watch him. He's particularly brave, dangerous in the air and has clever movement."
