Newcastle United injury update: Steve Bruce provides news on knocks suffered by Emil Krafth & Jetro Willems

The full-back duo were both forced off in United’s second round Carabao Cup loss to Leicester City.

“They are both muscle injuries,” said Bruce.

“Jetro has got a hamstring and the boy Emil has got a thigh strain, so we will see.”

Matt Ritchie is a serious doubt for Watford after requiring a scan and stitches on an ankle knock which forced him off.
