Leading goalscorer Loic Remy is likely to miss the next three games with a calf problem, and he will be joined on the sidelines for the same period by right-back Mathieu Debuchy, who has a groin complaint.
Goalkeeper Rob Elliot and full-back Davide Santon (both knee) remain doubts for the Magpies.
Centre-back Fabricio Coloccini returns after a family bereavement in time for the clash at St James' Park, however, playmaker Hatem Ben Arfa will not be included because of a family illness.
The Cottagers will assess Dejagah before the game, but will be without midfielder Georgios Karagounis after suffering a muscle strain in south Wales.
Scott Parker (knee) could be back next week, but Damien Duff (knee) is out for the rest of the season.
