Sky Sports update – Massive Newcastle United injury blow BUT three could return for Burnley | OneFootball

A Newcastle United injury update on Friday morning.

Eddie Howe speaking to journalists.

The NUFC Head Coach speaking after that 5-1 defeat of Sheffield United.

Plus of course, Eddie Howe hoping to now follow up with victory at Burnley.

Keith Downie of Sky Sports reporting from the Newcastle United training ground, where Eddie Howe has been doing his pre-Burnley media duties:

‘Fabian Schar will miss tomorrow’s trip to Burnley and Eddie Howe is not expecting him to play again this season due to hamstring strain.

In better news: Nick Pope, Joelinton and Miggy Almiron have all trained this week and individual decisions will be made today on whether any of the 3 feature tomorrow.’

The club then releasing these Eddie Howe quotes:

“Fabian [Schar] will miss a period of time with a minor hamstring problem.

“He won’t be available tomorrow [at Burnley]and I doubt we’ll see him again this season.

“We’ve had Miggy and Joelinton return this week, their first steps back into full team training. We’ve also seen Nick Pope as well so it’s been a good week. It’s certainly given us a big lift.

“We’ll see after today [if they’re available for Burnley].

“I’ve got to make the right decisions individually and for the team.”

Eddie Howe on Kieran Trippier:

“Kieran hasn’t trained with the group this week, he’s been away training by himself with our physiotherapist.

“We anticipate he’ll be back next week to train, hopefully.

“He could be involved before the end of the season.”
