At this FIFA break, Newcastle United sit 7th in the Premier League table, having lost just once in their last five. When they return to action from the October internationals, a week from this Saturday when they will host Brighton & Hove Albion, they’re likely to see four players return from injury: Martin Dubravka, Callum Wilson, Alexader Isak and Lewis Miley.
Let’s get you up to speed on the quartet, as well as the pair of longer-term injury absentees.
Martin Dubravka
Backup and cup competition keeper should be fine for the Brighton match, as the knee issue surrounding Dubravka is not understood to be a severe one.
Callum Wilson
Has a minor injury, to his lower back, but the break comes at a good time to get him right again.
Alexander Isak
High flying forward has been dealing with dual issues- one in the eye and the other in the ankle/foot. However, there is hope he’ll be back
Lewis Miley
Nursing a lower leg injury, he could be in contention to feature when play resumes. Honestly, the injury/fitness situation at Newcastle this season is just miles better than it was last season, when it was a calamity nearly the entire term.
