Newcastle United v West Ham injury news as six out plus Callum Wilson update: photos

Eddie Howe is facing a mini-crisis in defence when Newcastle United face West Ham at St James’ Park following the international break.

Dan Burn will miss the clash with West Ham through suspension, whilst Emil Krafth has also been ruled out of action for a couple of months with a collarbone injury. That leaves Howe desperately short of options in defence as he remains without a couple of his long-term absentees.

There is hope that he can have a couple of faces back for the visit of Julen Lopetegi’s side, however, with Newcastle United aiming to make it four wins on the spin in all competitions. Their visitors, meanwhile, have had a slow start to life under their new manager and will be without Mohammed Kudus through suspension.

The Ghanaian international scored in both games against the Magpies last season and will serve the fourth match of a five game ban when his side travel to the north east. Here, we take a look at the latest injury and suspension news from both camps ahead of Newcastle United’s clash with West Ham:
