AdminNewcastle United manager Eddie Howe has provided updates on the fitness of Bruno Guimaraes and Joe Willock. Both players were injured during the team’s 2-0 loss to West Ham on Monday, sparking concerns about their availability for the upcoming match against Crystal Palace.
Fortunately, Howe confirmed that neither Guimaraes nor Willock has a serious injury, and both have a chance of playing on Saturday. A decision on their availability will be made today, giving the team and fans a clearer picture of the squad’s strength heading into the match.
The update comes as a relief to Newcastle, which has struggled with injuries to key players over the past year. Defenders Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles have been out since March with ACL injuries, a significant blow to the team’s defensive depth. Meanwhile, Emil Krafth will miss time with a broken collarbone, adding to the list of absentees.
In more positive news, Callum Wilson has been given the all-clear after returning from injury on Monday. Wilson played a significant portion of the second half against West Ham and is expected to be in the squad for the match against Palace. This is a welcome boost for Newcastle, as Wilson’s presence up front adds a new dimension to the team’s attack.
Lewis Miley, meanwhile, is set to play for the under-21s as he works to regain his fitness. This is an important step in Miley’s recovery, and the team will be monitoring his progress closely.
As Newcastle prepares to face Crystal Palace on Saturday, the team’s injury situation is still a concern. However, with Guimaraes and Willock potentially returning, and Wilson already back in the fold, there are reasons for optimism. Howe will be hoping that his team can build on recent performances and pick up a valuable win against Palace.
