Six Newcastle players may miss West Ham United Premier League clash
Newcastle could have as many as six players missing the Premier League clash against West Ham on Sunday, 8 October, at the London Stadium.
Harvey Barnes, Joe Willock, Sven Botman and Anthony Gordon have been ruled out while Callum Wilson and Joelinton are doubts.
Wilson has a 75 per cent chance of being fit while Joelinton stands at 25 per cent right now, according to injury expert Ben Dinnery.
Flying high
Newcastle are flying high after their unlikely Champions League victory against PSG in midweek.
A 4-1 win over one of the best teams on paper will certainly give them a huge motivational boost ahead of the Premier League clash.
Even West Ham will be high on their European adventures after they beat Freiburg 2-1 away from home.
It remains to be seen how this game pans out and if the Hammers can make the most of the occasion and pick up a point or three from it.
David Moyes surely will have a plan for this game and so will Eddie Howe so the tactical battle will be fascinating.
Howe has managed to make his team solid defensively but also decent in the final third so it’s not going to be easy for the Hammers to come away with the right result and they’re going to have to be at their absolute best.
In other West Ham news, a Hammers star has the same conversation with a manager as James Maddison did before he joined Tottenham Hotspur.
