KEY TEAM NEWS UPDATES FROM FRIDAY
FRIDAY’S PRESS CONFERENCE TIMES
NEWCASTLE UNITED
Eddie Howe isn’t expecting anyone back for the visit of Manchester City.
Jamaal Lascelles (knee), Sven Botman (knee) and Lewis Miley (back) are out long term for the Magpies, while Callum Wilson (back) likely won’t be back before the October international break.
And Newcastle have an ongoing concern over Alexander Isak. The Swede was a doubt for Gameweek 5 with a toe injury but played through the pain barrier against Fulham last weekend. However, the issue persists – and he hasn’t trained all week.
“In terms of fresh injuries, Alex is still nursing that toe problem.” – Eddie Howe
In a new one for the team news column, Matt Targett has struggled with eczema over the last fortnight and won’t be fit for the weekend.
“Matt Targett has had a flare-up of eczema so he’s been nursing that for the last couple of weeks, it’s been quite a bad episode for him. We’re hoping to get him back training today but he won’t be involved in the game.” – Eddie Howe
