Official Newcastle United injury update – Availability for Sheffield United match (and beyond…) | OneFootball

An official Newcastle United injury update on Friay morning.

Eddie Howe speaking to journalists.

The NUFC Head Coach speaking after that defeat to Crystal Palace on Wednesday night.

Plus of course, Eddie Howe hoping to now get back on the winning trail against Sheffield United.

Eddie Howe on Callum Wilson:

“Callum came through fine [against Crystal Palace].

“I thought he looked good and worked well with the lads around him.

“He had a couple of dangerous moments, that was a positive from Wednesday.”

Eddie Howe on Tino Livramento:

“Tino came on against Tottenham and had a slight reaction in his ankle after that game.

“It was minimal.

“It is the same story with a few of the players, we are having to look after him and hopefully those few days rest will make a big difference.

“Let’s see how he feels today before making a decision on him tomorrow.”

Eddie Howe on Nick Pope, Joelinton and Miguel Almirón:

“They are getting closer.

“Nick is beginning to start his early training sessions with us. He has started to be with outfield players in shooting drills.

“Joelinton has seen a specialist and is working on his own programme.

“Miggy is there or thereabouts and could be back next week.”

So basically, it looks the same matchday squad as the Palace match.

However, with Callum Wilson possibly available to start if called upon. Whilst Tino Livramento another possible to add to those available to compete for the starting eleven, if deemed ok physically.

Also from this morning’s press conference, Eddie Howe confirming that Kieran Trippier won’t be available as he recovers from his calf issue but the NUFC Head Coach hopeful he will be back playing soon, before the season ends.

Howe also confirming that Matt Targett is very unlikely to play again this season.
