Newcastle will be hoping to get back to winning ways in the Premier League after drawing four of their last five top flight matches. Eddie Howe’s side currently sit fourth in the table and are a club record 16 games unbeaten in the league.
But The Magpies will be without key player Bruno Guimaraes as he serves the second of his three match suspension. Full-backs Matt Targett, Javier Manquillo and Emil Krafth also remain sidelined with injuries.
Alexander Isak missed last Saturday’s 1-1 draw with West Ham United at St James’s Park with a concussion but is set to return this weekend.
Here is Newcastle United’s current injury list as expected return dates...
5. Matty Longstaff - ACL
The young midfielder picked up a serious knee injury while on loan at Colchester United and has since returned to the club. He had undergone surgery and will be out for the remainder of the season with his contract set to expire in the summer. What Howe said: “Very difficult for any young players to pick up any serious injury. It is bad timing for him. We certainly wish him well, and hope he recovers full. “We’ll support him back to fully fitness. There’ll be no concerns there. It’s our duty.” Estimated return date: Late summer 2023 Photo: Getty
