The Magpies are also adamant that midfielder Bruno Guimarães is not for sale, despite Arsenal's reported interest. Manzambi is currently sidelined with a minor knee injury, with Switzerland head coach Murat Yakin uncertain whether he'll recover in time for their quarter-final match against Argentina.
