A look at the early injury news surrounding Brentford and Newcastle United ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash.
Though, Newcastle are actually below Brentford at this point, sitting one point and one position below the London club despite having top four ambitions again this season. Ahead of Sunday’s clash, we have rounded up the early injury news surrounding both teams.
Antoni Milambo - Out
Milambo is out for the season, with Andres having said in mid-October: “Antoni suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury on international duty with the Netherlands Under-21s.”
Josh DaSilva - Out
DaSilva is going to be out until December. DaSilva said recently: “Right now, I’m just doing rehab outside, doing ball work and running. I’ve been doing that for quite a few weeks now, so hopefully, within the next month or so, I can start training with the team. I try not to look too far ahead; I’m just taking every milestone as it comes.”
Benjamin Arthur - Doubt
Andrews said last week: “Arthur was substituted in the win at Grimsby with an injury just below the knee. He will not be available on Saturday, but should be fit next week.”
Yoane Wissa - Out
Wissa is expected to be out until late November. Howe said last week: “(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. I'd say he's not close to training with the group at the moment, not through injury, but through fitness, and making sure we build his robustness. I'm not trying to be evasive. I don't know when the moment will be when he's back with the squad.”
Tino Livramento - Out
Livramento is out until after the international break. Howe said in his last update: “Tino is still on track, we are looking at the Manchester City game for him for when he can be available.”
Harrison Ashby - Out
Ashby is out long term with a knee issue. Howe said in mid-October: “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.”
