An official Newcastle United injury update ahead of the Crystal Palace match.

Eddie Howe hoping to get back to winning ways in the Premier League.

An excellent Premier League home win against Man U despite playing the majority of the game with only ten men. That St James’ Park win then backed up by the 1-0 triumph at Chelsea.

Only for the derby defeat ahead of the international break to set United back.

Newcastle are now twelfth in the Premier League but with the table so tight above them for the European places.

Eddie Howe giving this Newcastle United injury update ahead of playing Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Official Newcastle United injury update from Eddie Howe:

Eddie Howe on Lewis Miley

The teenager now available again after a lengthy absence.

Eddie Howe on Sandro Tonali

The midfielder fit and available after international duty.

Eddie Howe on Bruno Guimaraes

“Bruno suffered on his return from Brazil with illness, that has delayed his return. Doubt over this game and the Bournemouth game. Maybe he will be back for Arsenal.”

Eddie Howe on Fabian Schar

“Fabian Schar suffered an infection in his foot so he is in hospital having a minor surgery on that so he will be out for about a month.”

Eddie Howe adding

“Everyone else, I think we are good.”

Keith Downie of Sky Sports reporting that Sven Botman is one of those who will be available for the Palace match but will need to wear a mask if getting onto the pitch, after fracturing his eye socket due to the kick in the face from Bryan Brobbey.
