Alan Pardew will be without Tim Krul, Papiss Cisse and Yoan Gouffran for Wednesday night's Capital One Cup tie at Crystal Palace.
Krul and Gouffran both started Saturday's 2-2 with Hull City while Cisse came from the bench to score twice.
But all three have been struck by a sickness bug this week.
The trio reported to Newcastle's Benton training ground but were sent home to recover and will not travel to Selhurst Park.
As a result, Rob Elliot is likely to make his first appearance of the season in goal while Jak Alnwick - who played in Monday night's 2-1 Barclays Under-21 Premier League win at Arsenal - is expected to be part of the squad.
