Sturridge, who has scored a goal in each of his three appearances for Bolton since joining from Chelsea on loan until the end of the season, has missed the last two games as he has been cup tied.
Jussi Jaaskelainen will return in goal ahead of Adam Bogdan who was used for the FA Cup ties, while defender Gretar Steinsson could be available after being out for the last month with a knee injury.
But the Magpies game is too soon for fellow full-back Jlloyd Samuel despite a reserve run-out this week following a six-month lay-off with a ruptured thigh.
