Newcastle United injury update ahead of the Premier League clash at home to Everton on Saturday.
Ramsey trained ahead of Tuesday’s 3-2 Champions League play-off second-leg win over Qarabag but wasn’t included in the matchday squad after feeling some tightness in his hamstring.
The 24-year-old has been one of the Magpies’ standout performers in recent weeks, enjoying his best run in the starting XI since joining from Aston Villa for an initial £39million last summer.
Newcastle United hope Jacob Ramsey will be available v Everton
Any period without Ramsey would come as a huge blow to Eddie Howe’s side, but the early suggestions are that he is OK and could be involved against Everton.
“We hope there's nothing serious,” Howe said after the Qarabag win. “He's just felt his hamstring, an awareness, a tightness in his hamstring. He had a scan and that came back all clear.
“Hopefully it'll be a quick improvement and he'll be back involved hopefully for our next game. But let's wait and see.”
Newcastle United without Lewis Miley for another week
While there is potentially positive news on Ramsey, Newcastle remain without two other key midfielders in Bruno Guimaraes and Lewis Miley.
Guimaraes is currently in Brazil recovering from a hamstring injury and working towards a return in April, while Miley’s return date has been “pushed back” according to the Daily Mail.
Howe said last week that the 19-year-old, who hasn’t featured since the 1-1 draw against Paris Saint-Germain on January 28, was a maximum of two weeks away from a return, putting him in contention for next Saturday’s FA Cup fifth round tie at home to Manchester City.
“Without going into too much medical stuff, which is beyond me, it was a dead leg so that was factually correct but I think it disturbed a bit of the muscle,” said Howe.
“Again, I don't think he's too far away, nothing more than a week, a couple of weeks maximum but I think we've been told that we've got to be careful with him.”
However, it’s claimed that upcoming games against Everton, Manchester United and Man City will “probably come too soon” for Miley, with a return for the midweek Champions League last 16 first-leg tie at home to either Chelsea or Barcelona more likely.
By the time Miley is due to return, he will have missed six weeks of action.
