Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium (15:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Howe said Jacob Ramsey will train today and "fingers crossed" he hopes he will be fit to face Everton.
He also provided an update on Tino Livramento's recovery: "I think Tino will be early March. He has done well, he has been training and running for a period of time. I think when he comes back, he will be in a good place."
On Lewis Miley's injury: "We've just been advised with Lewis to be really careful with this injury. A knock of that type is usually a couple of days but there's muscle disruption. I think we're looking at a couple of weeks. If we don't get the management of this injury right, he could be out for the season."
Howe was asked about Bruno Guimaraes who is continuing to recover in his native Brazil: "I've had some good contact with Bruno. He seems very positive about his injury. He is putting in a lot of work and being looked after. We really hope he can come back and give us a real boost before the end of the season but we have to treat his injury carefully. With the hamstring you have to be really careful."
On Friday morning's Champions League round of 16 draw: "It's really special, really positive for us. Just grateful we can't get Man City! We’re looking forward to what the draw brings and the games when they come round. I’m sure we’ll hear about it on the training ground but we’ll be focusing on tomorrow’s game.”
Howe was asked whether newspaper reports linking Anthony Gordon with a move away could disrupt the player: "Only if he reads it. In this age we're in there's always rumour and speculation. I don't see 90% of it, the players probably see more than I do. It comes with the territory of being a top player. You have to put it out of your brain and focus on the football."
Is there a campaign to unsettle his top players after Gordon links: "You tell me. It is your industry who is creating those stories."
On the challenge posed by the Toffees: "Everton have done really well on their travels, they've been a really tough team to beat. Their record has been fantastic, David's teams are very difficult to score against so it's a game in which our attacking play has to be really good and our defensive work has to be improved from recent weeks."
