Following four months on the sidelines following knee surgery, striker Craig Bellamy alarmed the Magpies' in the previous Uefa Cup tie against Valerenga last week by limping off the field. However, the new injury turned out to be a minor hamstring strain.

BELLAMY SPEAKS AFTER MALLORCA VICTORY

The Welsh striker returned to action last night with a bang, as he bagged a goal to help United secure a 4-1 victory over Real Mallorca at St James' Park.
"I'm delighted to have scored again but I felt I could have grabbed at least another," said Bellamy.
"The way I play is getting in behind defenders and I always felt capable of doing that tonight, but it was great to get the first goal anyway and get the team going.
"It would have been nice to have got a couple of goals against Valerenga the previous week, but injury meant it wasn't to be.
"But I always felt I would get fit in time to face Mallorca."
Bellamy has now scored five times in his last six appearances since returning from long-term injury.
