Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul has been hit by a knee injury.
Manager Alan Pardew has revealed the Holland international could miss up to three games after damaging a knee during Tuesday night's 3-0 home defeat by Everton.
Pardew said: "Tim won't play, he's out for these next two or three games for sure, so Rob Elliot will come in.
"He has made his international squad and he is keen to stay in that squad and he needs to play, so the opportunity lands at his feet.
"Rob is a confident goalie and he will look to take that on."
