£68m Newcastle United duo set to miss Everton game after fresh training ground injury blow as Eddie Howe names two players who are not fit to face the Toffees Tomorrow
Martin Dubravka, Newcastle United’s goalkeeper, is set to miss time due to a knee injury.
Dubravka started Newcastle’s first match of the season, a 1-0 Carabao Cup triumph over AFC Wimbledon at St James’ Park on Tuesday night, but only played 45 minutes. The custodian limped off the game after colliding with Wimbledon forward Omar Bugiel and was replaced by Odysseas Vlachodimos in the second half.
After the match, Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe couldn’t provide a detailed update on Dubravka’s injury. “I think we’re okay. Martin has taken a nasty bang to his knee.
“We hope he’s all right, but we’ll wait and see how that settles down tomorrow. We had a few players fatigued at the end because they haven’t had a lot of football, but hopefully no major injuries from the game.
“I’ve no idea at the moment in time [about Dubravka’s injury]. I don’t know whether it’s a knock or anything more serious.”
Dubravka has since skipped training this week and has been left out of Slovakia’s Nations League team for the next matches this month, implying that his knee injury is more than just a minor setback.
The custodian will almost probably miss Saturday’s trip to Everton (5:30pm kick-off). Alexander Isak is also expected to miss the match at Goodison Park after being pulled out of Sweden’s team due to a broken toe.
Callum Wilson, Lewis Miley, Sven Botman, and Jamaal Lascelles are still out, while Matt Targett is on the verge of returning to the first team after an 11-month absence.
