Steve McClaren remains confident that Newcastle United will get out of trouble in the Premier League.

The Magpies face a long wait for their next game on March 2 when they travel to Stoke City.

By that time, McClaren could have four players back from injury with Papiss Cisse, Vurnon Anita, Massadio Haidara and Paul Dummett all due to return.

Newcastle also hope that Chancel Mbemba will be back to play some part in the fight against relegation.

He said: “We know when everybody is fit we have a good squad. We know we can win games.”

United’s away form is concerning for fans with the Magpies wining just twice in the last 20 Premier League away matches.

McClaren said: “We have to look at our away form at the present moment, it’s inconsistent.

“We are getting consistency and performances at home.

“We need to pick up points away from home, we won’t do that playing like this.”

Newcastle now head off to La Manga this week for a training camp and a friendly game with Lillestrom.

McClaren said: “It’s not a social, it’s work. That is what we have said to the squad.

“It is 18 days of hard work and getting some players back from injuries.

“We can’t let this result upset and we must carry on.”
