Another home game now at St James’ Park.
Newcastle United will take on Manchester City on Tuesday evening at 8pm, with the matches coming in quick succession.
Eddie Howe provides this Newcastle United injury update.
Official Newcastle United injury update from Eddie Howe:
After the marathon that was Saturday’s Bournemouth match (which followed a similarly tough match against Leeds on Wednesday), Eddie Howe said for Manchester City tomorrow night:
“I will have discussions with the medical team and the performance team; physical levels and energy levels are of utmost importance for this competition.
“We will have to make decisions based on that.
“This is a huge challenge. Some players have just played 120 minutes and are asked to go again a few days later, but I would like to think that, physically and mentally, we will be ready to go again at kick-off.”
