There\u2019s an issue there and we\u2019re working through various options to try to diagnose the injury problem.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Could he be missing \u2018long term\u2019?<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Yeah, perhaps, we\u2019re still awaiting clarity on what is happening with his situation,\u2019 said Howe.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/31\/11\/77215985-12692651-image-a-1_1698750637920.jpg\" height=\"496\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Sven Botman (right) is still struggling with a knee injury he picked up last month<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/31\/11\/77216049-12692651-image-a-2_1698750687126.jpg\" height=\"403\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Eddie Howe is concerned Botman could face a lengthy spell on the sidelines<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>The Magpies are without six senior players ahead of Wednesday\u2019s trip to Manchester United in the fourth round of the EFL Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Mail Sport revealed last week that striker Alexander Isak will be missing until after the November international break after suffering a recurrence of a groin injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That leaves Callum Wilson as the only recognised frontman, and he is unlikely to play three games in a week given the need to manage his load. Winger Anthony Gordon looks set to fill in.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018That was one of the reasons for signing Anthony, who can play as a centre-forward, which he did for England at the Euros and did a great job,\u2019 said Howe when asked about alternative options in the position.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There are others &#8211; Harvey (Barnes) can play up there, although we don\u2019t have him at the moment. Joelinton was also signed as a centre-forward, although we\u2019ve moved his position.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/31\/11\/77216077-12692651-image-a-3_1698750736084.jpg\" height=\"468\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Newcastle have several players injured, with Alexander Isak also ruled out until after the international break<\/p>\n<p>Did Howe and the hierarchy consider the effects of losing one of Isak or Wilson when planning their summer transfer business?<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The trouble is, you\u2019re sort of alluding to signing a third striker,\u2019 he began. \u2018We just didn\u2019t have the resources to do that. You can only go with the information you have at the time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;As much as you can have a crystal ball and try to predict what will happen, that is part of our job as well, you only have a certain amount of resources and you have to make the decisions you\u2019re faced with at the time.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Newcastle are awaiting clarity on the situation surrounding Sandro Tonali, who has not been able to train with the team since being banned for 10 months for illegal gambling last week. The club hope he will rejoin the group during his suspension.<\/p>\n<p>Tonali joins Barnes (foot), Jacob Murphy (shoulder) and Elliot Anderson (back) as players currently sidelined for significant periods.<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/08\/02\/636x90_facebook_ad_sport.png\" width=\"636\" height=\"90\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12692651\/Newcastle-injury-blow-Eddie-Howe-Sven-Botman.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newcastle suffer ANOTHER injury blow as Eddie Howe reveals Sven Botman is still struggling with a knee problem and could<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
