The club have released a new Newcastle United training gallery of photos.
The images released, showing Newcastle United players training ahead of Saturday’s match.
A bit of insight…potentially, into who may and may not be available for this game, as Newcastle United take on Leicester City at St James’ Park.
Newcastle United looking to bounce back after Saturday’s defeat to Brentford.
The photos published by Newcastle United featuring Thursday’s training and the following first team squad players involved from what we could see:
Miguel Almiron, Sven Botman, Dan Burn, Martin Dubravka, Anthony Gordon, Bruno Guimaraes, Alexander Isak, Joelinton, Tino Livramento, Sean Longstaff, Lewis Miley, Fabian Schar, Sandro Tonali, Will Osula, Matt Targett, Kieran Trippier
As you can see, not a load of first team squad players featuring in the official training photos released, just the 15 shown.
Difficult to draw any conclusions on those not able to be seen in terms of injury/availability, with the club choosing to show so few players involved in training today.
Obviously we now know that Callum Wilson is definitely unavailable on Saturday, as well as Jamaal Lascelles and Emil Krafth.
Great to see Sven Botman training, as he has been for a few weeks now, although Eddie Howe having previously indicated it will be nearer the turn of the year before he could be considered for first team football. Media reports have claimed that the plan is to give him a game for the reserves before Christmas.
