Recent Squad Updates
The Magpies Coach Admits Poor Display
Newcastle were horrible last week against the Hammers, according to their manager just admitted in his pre-match interview. “We must produce something different. The match with the London club proved difficult for us. We trust, we have learned a lot. At this point we need to start picking up points.”
On the winger: “He was not close ultimately. The scan showed a minor problem with his hip and it’s an excellent chance for Harvey Barnes to step up.”
Forest Still Miss Important Forward
Still no Chris Wood for Forest, while Matz Sels, the defender, the midfielder plus Dan Ndoye are back.
The German forward replaces the goal-shy Dominic Calvert-Lewin, that had difficulties at Brighton last week.
The Eagles Welcome Playmaker But Miss Centre-Back
The young midfielder returns for Crystal Palace although they will have an absence of Marc Guéhi in the squad. The Seagulls select the same starting eleven that defeated the Yorkshire side in their last outing.
The Palace manager stated that their defender “is suffering from a bone injury, he requires support and is unable to so much as walk. At the moment it looks like he will not play with the national team next week either.”
