Newcastle United are set for at least a couple of boosts following the international break as they prepare for another hectic run of fixtures amid an injury crisis.
Newcastle had 11 first-team players unavailable for the 2-0 defeat at AFC Bournemouth last time out in the Premier League due to injury and suspension. During that match, Fabian Schar and Sean Longstaff played on through injuries while Miguel Almiron was forced off with a hamstring issue.
Head coach Eddie Howe will be hoping to have some players back available for Newcastle's next Premier League match against Chelsea at St James' Park on November 25. Following that match, The Magpies travel to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League in mid-week before hosting Manchester United on December 2.
Newcastle will have at least one returning player after the international break with midfielder Bruno Guimaraes back from suspension and available, providing he doesn't pick up any issues while on international duty with Brazil.
Here is Newcastle’s current injury/unavailable list...
5. Callum Wilson (chest)
Wilson managed to complete 90 minutes at Nottingham Forest but ended the match with his arm in a makeshift sling. It has since been revealed the striker suffered a pectoral injury in his chest. Has undergone surgery and is back out on the grass. Expected return: Burnley (A) - 04/05 | Getty Images
6. Miguel Almiron (knee)
Forced off just 10 minutes after coming on against West Ham with a knee issue which will keep him sidelined for around a month. Expected return: Burnley (A) - 04/05 | Getty Images
7. Joelinton (thigh)
Joelinton picked up a thigh injury during Newcastle's 3-0 win over Sunderland. He was able to briefly play on before being withdrawn. Eddie Howe has ruled the Brazilian out for at least six weeks but surgery on the injury is likely to keep the midfielder out until the end of the season. Expected return date: Brighton (H) - 11/05 | Getty Images
8. Lewis Miley (back)
Lewis Miley injured his back on international duty. There were fears his season could be over, but he may still be able to play a part of the remainder of the campaign. Expected return: May 2024 Photo: Stu Forster/Getty Images
