The latest international break is about to wrap up, and that means it’s time to start looking ahead to the next weekend of Premier League action. Newcastle United, set to visit Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday have a multitude of injury concerns. So that has certainly not changed from last season for Eddie Howe! Here is the latest on Callum Wilson, Emil Krafth, Joe Willock, Lewis Miley, Fabian Schar and more.
Without further ado, let’s start looking ahead to the next weekend’s fixtures. As always, click the names where highlighted for more on each player.
Callum Wilson
The stellar forward is nursing a knock on his lower back, but he should be in the mix for Sunday. Wilson will probably start.
Emil Krafth
He has an unspecified knock and is maybe 50/50 to feature here.
Joe Willock
The Englishman has a thigh injury that could keep him out of action for this one. He should be back before too long, however, and should feature this month.
Lewis Miley
He’s got an ankle/foot injury that will keep him out until October, and possibly mid-October.
Fabian Schar
Not an injury problem, but a disciplinary concern here. He has finished serving his red card suspension, and will thus be available here.
Jamaal Lascelles and Sven Botman
Both have cruciate ligament injuries in their knees, and won’t feature again until 2025.
