Newcastle team news: Magpies handed boost as ace set for debut in Everton clash
SEYDOU DOUMBIA has been granted his visa and has been cleared to play against Everton.
Doumbia could make his debut tonight
The 28-year-old signed on a loan deal until the end of the season on transfer deadline day.
And now the prerequisite paperwork has been completed to allow Doumbia to make his Premier League debut against Everton at Goodison Park.
But having only arrived at Newcastle on Monday morning, it is likely that Steve McClaren will name the striker on the bench as opposed to thrusting him straight into the starting line-up.
