(Reuters) - Newcastle United midfielder Joe Willock will miss their clash with Watford this weekend due to a toe injury, while skipper Jamaal Lascelles faces two weeks out with a thigh problem, manager Steve Bruce said on Friday.

The duo join Callum Wilson, Paul Dummett, Freddie Woodman and Jonjo Shelvey on the injured list, leaving Newcastle -- who are chasing their first win of the season -- with selection issues ahead of their match at Vicarage Road on Saturday.
