Kazenga LuaLua is in line to start for Newcastle United tonight in their FA Cup replay against Hull City.
LuaLua, the 18-year-old younger brother of former Magpie Lomana, is under consideration with Kinnear's squad having been ripped apart by a casualty list which will deprive him of 11 senior players for the visit of Phil Brown's side to St James' Park.
Toon boss Joe Kinnear said: "I am thinking about that. It's just who I start with up front, to be honest.
"I haven't got any choice with what's not available to me - no Shola, no Viduka, no Oba Martins and no Andy Carroll.
"That's four strikers who won't be involved in the game, so I might go five across the middle and play Michael (Owen) up front by himself."
