This report from Chronicle Live details Newcastle United’s injury crisis under manager Matthias Jaissle and the anticipated squad boost following the upcoming international break.
Newcastle was missing nine first-team players for their 2-1 victory over Hull City, forcing Jaissle to name academy players on the bench. However, several key players are expected to be available for their fixture against Coventry after the three-week break:
Nico Gonzalez: Sidelined against Hull due to concussion protocols after taking a blow to the head against Leeds United. Having completed the mandatory protocol period, he will return to the squad for Coventry.
Dan Burn: Newcastle’s captain has been out this season after suffering an ankle injury in training. Having been left out of the England squad to focus on his rehabilitation, he is expected to return after the international break.
Joelinton: Sidelined so far this season with a thigh problem, the vice-captain is nearing full fitness and could be named in the squad to face Coventry.
Amar Dedic: Missed the Hull match with a thigh issue, but the club expects the right-back to fully recover during the break.
Jacob Ramsey: Missed recent games against Leeds and Hull with a thigh injury, which is expected to clear up over the next three weeks in time for Coventry.
Ewen Jaouen: The young goalkeeper rolled his ankle in training and missed the Hull clash, but he is expected to be back in the squad as backup against Coventry.
Tino Livramento: Suffered another setback right before the Hull fixture, presenting a major concern for the club, with his international involvement in doubt.
Anthony Elanga: Missed the last two fixtures with a thigh injury and underwent an MRI scan to assess the damage. While Newcastle hopes to avoid an extended layoff, no firm return date has been set.
William Osula: Sidelined with an ankle injury picked up against Liverpool. Although major long-term fears were downplayed, his time out could stretch into November.
