Boss Alan Pardew told the club's website: "Toddy was out for a long time last season and I want to ease him back gradually.
"I didn't think throwing him in straight away against two non-league sides, especially in light of the weather and conditions, would be very beneficial for him."
Chris Iwelumo (hamstring), Andy Gray (back), Darren Ambrose (groin) and Izale McLeod (knee) will all miss tomorrow's game.
