Newcastle boss Eddie Howe says they're happy to wait for Harvey Barnes.

The summer signing misses today's FA Cup quarterfinal against Manchester City today due to injury.

Howe said: "Harvey won't make the squad (for tomorrow) but we hope he'll be back for West Ham. He was very down after the Wolves game because he knew he'd just felt something in his hamstring which is going to take a period of time to get right.

"He's desperate to do well for Newcastle. You saw his quality when he came on against Luton and scored instantly. He is a goalscorer. We've missed him when he's not been available. I know the qualities he has and I'm desperate for him to show that to everybody on a consistent basis.

"He is back on the grass already so we hope he can be back and have a positive impact towards the end of the season."
