Newcastle United could have up to three first-team players available in the upcoming January transfer window, it has been reported.
The Magpies could be set to cut their squad, with the future of Miguel AlmironCallum Wilson and Kieran Trippier look uncertain, second Football TBR.
The report notes that it was a challenging summer for Newcastle in the transfer market as they were unable to be as busy as perhaps they would have ideally liked.

NUFC will surely want to fix this as soon as possible and so offloading unnecessary players will be a key part of that.
Almiron is the particular focus of this TBR Football report, with the 30-year-old reportedly already working hard to find a new club.
What happens to Newcastle if they cut players?
Newcastle have been interested in Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi of late, according to TBR Football, but the England international clearly won’t come cheap.
Still, with Palace making a surprisingly poor start to the season, it makes sense that he could look at Newcastle again in the near future.
Guehi is a top-class talent and one imagines other clubs will also be interested in him, so Newcastle will hope to find buyers for Almiron, Trippier and Wilson as soon as possible.
In this era of Financial Fair Play, this could be crucial in helping Newcastle afford someone like Guehi who can take their team forward without putting the club in financial trouble.
Newcastle and others will be desperate to avoid the fate of Everton and Nottingham Forest, who in recent times have been hit with points deductions that threatened their Premier League survival, even if they eventually did well in the end
