As per Sky Sports’ Keith Downie via X (2 April), Howe has provided an injury update on his three first-team stars.

“Kieran Trippier missing for Fulham on Saturday definitely, says Eddie Howe.”
Everton ride their luck as Newcastle boss Eddie Howe confirms injury blow
There is no doubt that Dyche’s side claimed a big point on Tyneside on Tuesday night.
Dominic Calvert Lewin’s last-gasp penalty cancelled out Alexander Isak’s opener for the hosts, and while it isn’t a win supporters will so desperately be craving, it is certainly an admirable point considering their current situation.
However, Dyche, his players and the Toffees’ supporters might consider themselves quite lucky considering the injury their opponents had to deal with ahead of the clash.
Newcastle have been hit with an unprecedented number of injuries this season, and lost yet another couple of players ahead of the clash with Everton.
Had at least one or two of those players been available to Howe, it might have been a different story, and Dyche will be relieved that he was walked away from St James’ Park with an unlikely point which could prove crucial when it comes to Premier League survival.
In other Everton news, Dyche has been blasted as embarrassing after what a pundit noticed against Newcastle.
