Newcastle United have been handed a boost ahead of their UEFA Cup fourth-round, second-leg clash with Real Mallorca with the news that striker Craig Bellamy has made the trip to Palma with the rest of the squad!

BELLAMY BOOST

The Welsh international played in the first-leg at St James' Park a fortnight ago and grabbed the equaliser before his side went on to hammer Mallorca 4-1.
The 24-year-old was ruled out of the weekend's game with Charlton Athletic on Saturday (which Newcastle won 3-1) due with a hamstring problem but could well be in the starting eleven on Thursday evening in Spain.
England U-21 international Shola Ameobi will play if Belllamy does not, while Kieron Dyer, Aaron Hughes and Michael Bridges are all missing through injury.
Robson declared: "We've left Dyer out, we've left Bridges out, we've left Hughes out, but we've brought Bellamy who has a chance.
"It's not 100% guaranteed, but he's on the plane which means there's a great chance that he could be available."
