Two out of three near return - Eddie Howe on Newcastle United injury situation set to improve nufc
Opinion20 seconds agoWhilst Emil Krafth and Jonjo Shelvey are long-term absentees, we have recently seen Callum Wilson, Bruno Guimaraes and Allan Saint-Maximin join them, that trio hopefully set to be short-term absentees.
With hamstring problems this is particularly delicate, as a player with a ‘minor’ issue can easily become a far longer-term casualty.Now he has revealed that he hopes to have a ‘couple’ of them back soon, with West Ham away on Sunday and then Bournemouth at home in 12 days time. This past week has seen three matches where any of the results could have been possible based on what we saw, against Wolves, Liverpool and Palace, Newcastle could have potentially won, lost, or drew all three.
For me, there is zero doubt that adding Wilson and Bruno to the team would have made Newcastle more likely to pick up more points this past week. Whilst as for ASM, it still baffles me how little credit some Newcastle fans give him, as for me he is the same as that other pair in terms of no brainers when it comes to strengthening this current NUFC team.
