4. Siem De Jong
It's safe to say the Dutchman has endured a very stop-start career on Tyneside. Signed as a playmaker with the potential to make the Magpies tick, it appears the 27 year old's Newcastle career is destined to be remembered for his ever-growing list of injuries. The latest of which was a freak training ground accident that, in McClaren's words 'could have blinded him'. Ready to return to action, Toon Army fans will be anxious to see the player get through the next two weeks without picking up yet another injury. If he manages that, it is likely De Jong will take up a place on the substitutes' bench at the Britannia Stadium.
