All the final injury news surrounding West Ham and Newcastle United as they prepare to face off in the Premier League.
Newcastle have managed to pick up of late, winning their last three across all competitions, but they too need to improve, currently in 12th place despite coming into the season with the expectation of competing for a Champions League spot again this term.
Here we run you through all the final injury news ahead of Sunday’s clash.
Tino Livramento - Out
Livramento will be out until late November. Howe has said: “Tino is out of the brace, and every time I speak to him, he seems positive about his return. There are no massive changes in the timescale he was given, but he is going about his recovery well.”
Lewis Hall - Doubt
Howe has said in a fresh update: "He's very close. He hasn't trained with us yet, so hopefully he'll be training with us today for the first time. We'll see how he looks. He's worked really hard, looked after himself, looks in good shape, but we will have to reintroduce him at the right time."
Yoane Wissa - Out
Howe said confirmed: “It (his comeback) is definitely not West Ham (on Sunday. He’s working very hard. He’s on the grass. He’s getting the fitness work in that he needs.”
Will Osula - Doubt
Howe has said: "No fresh injuries. We are still managing Will Osula's ankle - we will see how he is today. But apart from that, we are as we were."
Harrison Ashby - Out
Ashby remains out, with Howe saying recently: “Unfortunately, at the moment Harrison is injured, and he has been injured for a period of time with a thigh injury, so we are waiting for him to be fit again.” Ashby has a hamstring issue.
George Earthy - Out
Santo confirmed recently: “I think George will be four to six weeks [following a hamstring injury for the U21s].”
Niclas Fullkrug - Out
Santo has confirmed: “Niclas Füllkrug is out. I’m still not totally sure when he will be available. He started on the grass but not totally with the group, so we expect it’s going to be fast.”
Konstantinos Mavropanos - Out
Mavropanos will be out for at least a couple of weeks with a hamstring issue. Santo said in his pre-match press conference: “Dinos has started his fitness programme now and had his first session on the grass, so I expect a couple of weeks more for him to be totally available,”
Oliver Scarles - Out
Scarles is out with a dislocated shoulder, and he has now had surgery. Santo has confirmed: “Oliver Scarles, of course, went to surgery yesterday (Thursday) and it went well. He’s going to be out for a while. He’s not totally stopped as he can do some type of conditioning [work].”
