Recent Squad Updates

The Magpies Manager Confesses Disappointing Performance

Newcastle performed dreadful in their previous match versus West Ham, as their manager recently stated in his pre-match interview. “We must deliver something better. That day with the London club proved difficult for the team. Hopefully, we have learned plenty. Now we have to start earning points.”

On Anthony Gordon: “He was not close in the end. Medical imaging showed a minor problem with his hip which is an excellent opportunity for Harvey Barnes to come in.”

Nottingham Forest Continue to Be Without Key Forward

Still no Chris Wood for Forest, while Matz Sels, the defender, the midfielder and Dan Ndoye are back.

The German forward replaces the struggling Dominic Calvert-Lewin, that struggled at Brighton last week.

The Eagles See Return of Midfielder However Lose Defender

Adam Wharton is back for Crystal Palace although they will have an absence of Marc Guéhi in the squad. The Seagulls field the same starting eleven which beat the Yorkshire side in their last outing.
