Newcastle are counting the cost of a mounting injury list ahead of Wednesday\u2019s visit of Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.<\/p>\n
Saturday’s 2-0 win over Burnley was tinged by the sight of Joelinton being forced off with a hamstring problem four minutes after coming on. He had only just returned from a knee layoff.<\/p>\n
Sven Botman and Callum Wilson were already missing with knee and hamstring issues respectively, while Anthony Gordon picked up his fifth booking of the season and is now suspended for next weekend\u2019s trip to West Ham.<\/p>\n
Howe said: \u2018It looks like a hamstring (for Joelinton). That would be a huge blow if we lose him. Callum\u2019s got a very minor hamstring problem. We hope we will see him before the international break, but there\u2019s no guarantee. Sven has a knee problem, and I don\u2019t think we\u2019ll see him before the international break. Hopefully, we\u2019ll see him very quickly afterwards.<\/p>\n
\u2018You can add Joe Willock to that list, so it\u2019s a difficult moment for us injury wise. It\u2019s that kind of season for us, with the physical demands we\u2019re going to face. We have to be resilient and deal with the challenges that will come. We just hope we can get those players back really quickly.\u2019<\/p>\n

Newcastle suffered another injury blow, with Joelinton sustaining a hamstring injury<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Eddie Howe admitted it is a ‘difficult moment’ for Newcastle at present regarding injuries<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Anthony Gordon will miss next weekend’s game against West Ham because of suspension<\/p>\n
Of Gordon\u2019s booking and ban, picked up for kicking the ball away, Howe added: \u2018It\u2019s an absolute killer for us because Anthony\u2019s been in great form. He\u2019s been excellent and added so much to the team, so you don\u2019t want to take that out, especially with the rhythm that he\u2019s in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘It then goes into the fact that it\u2019s an international break after that, so it\u2019s going to be quite a while that he won\u2019t play. It\u2019s a big blow, and probably a needless yellow card.\u2019<\/p>\n
