Struck by misfortune: injury woes : four players sidelined as season takes a hit

 

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.
