Newcastle striker Craig Bellamy is out of tomorrow's Champions League qualifier against Partizan Belgrade after being sent to see a specialist about his injured knee.

The Welshman, who missed Saturday's 2-1 defeat by Manchester United with the injury, travelled to London today after a scan revealed inflammation and is not included in the squad.

Lee Bowyer serves the second game of his six-match European ban, but Nolberto Solano returns from international duty and Darren Ambrose is included after shaking off a shin splints problem.

Newcastle(from): Given, Harper, Griffin, Hughes, Bernard, Woodgate, O'Brien, Bramble, S. Caldwell, Speed, Dyer, Robert, Solano, Jenas, Viana, Ambrose, Shearer, Ameobi, LuaLua, Chopra.
