Robson's men go into the tie 4-1 up from the first leg, but are missing Kieron Dyer, Michael Bridges and Aaron Hughes through injury.
"We've left those three boys behind because they're not near playing, but Bellamy has a chance," said Robson.
"It's not 100% guaranteed that Craig will be fit but he's on the plane which is an indication he can be available."
Defender Jonathan Woodgate has admitted how desperate he is to win the competition saying:
"I know Newcastle fans and players have been saying this for a lot of years, but we want to win something.
"I think we've got a good chance of going all the way in this one.
"When we go out, the players have to be in the right frame of mind and we have to be looking to win the game.
"We know if we concede three goals, we could be out, and that would be a catastrophe. They've got experienced players and it's going to be tough."
