Newcastle United suffered injury, in addition to insult, during their 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Coventry City on Monday night. Summer signing Bazmouana Toure came on 59 minutes into brutal rout, but he was forced off early, after going to ground, due to an unspecified injury.
Matthias Jaissle said very little, in regards to the Toure injury situation, offering only: “Let’s see. It’s too early to say anything. Hopefully it’s nothing serious.”

So consider Toure a doubt, at the very least, ahead of Saturday’s Premier League fixture. Meanwhile the Geordies could see two of their injury absentees return to action in this one, and both members of the injured duo are battling thigh injuries. Jacob Ramsey has returned to training, but he didn’t feature on Monday night. He should be available here.
As should forward Anthony Elanga, provided he passes a late fitness test of course. Obviously, the Newcastle injury list has gotten much shorter.
Meanwhile Ewen Jaouen (also a thigh injury) and Valentino Livramento (undisclosed) remain sidelined as longer-term injury absentees.
