Newcastle United host Hull City at St James’ Park on Saturday looking to bounce back from a 4-1 defeat at Leeds United that ended their five-game unbeaten start to the season.
Matthias Jaissle’s side sit 12th on five points and have faced more shots than any other Premier League club so far this term. Jaissle has been candid about the size of the task, saying the “learning curve needs to be fast” for his young squad as they face an unbeaten Hull side ahead of a two-week international break.
Newcastle United team news
Anthony Elanga was left out of the squad at Leeds and remains sidelined with an unspecified issue, while Jacob Ramsey sustained a thigh injury in the warm-up at Elland Road. Nico Gonzalez will miss out through concussion protocols after coming off early in that game. Amar Dedic (hamstring), Dan Burn (ankle), Ewen Jaouen (ankle), Joelinton (thigh) and William Osula (foot) round out a lengthy absentee list.
Bazoumana Toure, who scored Newcastle’s consolation goal against Leeds, is in contention for a first Premier League start, potentially at the expense of Jacob Murphy, with Harvey Barnes shifting to the right flank. Sean Steur and Lewis Miley could partner in central midfield, while Tino Livramento and Fabian Schar are both pushing to come into the side at right-back and centre-back respectively.
