Newcastle have released images, which can be seen here, from Wednesday’s training session. The Magpies are preparing for a trip to West Ham on Sunday.
Unfortunately, none of our star trio – Callum Wilson, Bruno Guimaraes, Allan Saint-Maximin – were involved in today’s training. All three are suffering from minor hamstring injuries with Wilson not expected to be fit for the weekend.
Both Guimaraes and Saint-Maximin didn’t pass late fitness tests for the scoreless draw against Crystal Palace. Saint-Maximin is currently in Monaco receiving specialist treatment. Howe said the following about Allan’s injury last week:
“There is no muscle pull with Allan, it’s more just a bit of swelling. We’re hopeful it won’t be too long.
“Whether or not he’ll be available for the next game at this moment I don’t know. But if not the next one, then definitely the one after.”
Bruno Guimaraes was involved in a Castore meet and greet with Joelinton, Javier Manquillo, and Miguel Almiron yesteray. The Brazilian told NUFC TV that he isn’t certain he’ll be ready for Sunday but is working hard toward his return saying:
“I’ve been working hard for this, it’s my goal. But I don’t know if I will be ready, I know I need to answer this question for many fans today. I am doing my best to be ready.”
To make up the numbers, Howe called up a few of the U21s for today’s session. Remi Savage, Lewis Miley, and Jay Turner-Cooke were spotted in some of the images.

Under Ashley and Bruce, yes. But there’s still hope because the amount of draws at the bottom half and points were really close still.

Comment #243Hibbit – yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I’ve never been a tribal person to be honest but I do enjoy being part of the Toon tribe when it comes to football.
I’m not really a fan of the thinking that one group of people is better than the other, just never made sense in my head. And…controversy…I don’t think NUFC is the best club in the world, I just think NUFC is the best club in the world FOR ME. Same goes for the fans, it’s the right club for me.

I’m the kind of person who always think it’s positively possible untill statistically proven impossible.

Comment #245Hibbitt, I take your point about geordie us against the rest etc, and I guess that is partly based on local history, economics, wealth, North v South etc
What I would say is that the fanaticism I have found in many Irish fans for nufc, matches any geordie.
I think us paddies are as mad in the head as the geordies! 🙂

Comment #246TDS, there is no definitive measure for what the best club in the world is.
But, Nufc is the best club in the world.
We’re unique, special, different, the best.

Comment #247Munster – I think it’s just different though, Hibbit makes a good point. I CHOSE this club whereas many Geordies will say it’s in their blood, there wasn’t really a choice. On the one hand, I’ve seen it argued that our choices deserve a lot of respect because we could have been glory hunters and chosen clubs with more success, on the other hand I would agree that we can’t fully understand the Geordie mentality. I mean, I’ve lived there and I’ve been there other times too but I didn’t grow up there.
I do wonder if some of the negativity about our club is from fans who aren’t really suited to be Toon fans. I mean, I chose to be a Toon fan because it suits my personality but someone who is more suited to regular success or stability should really have picked another club…only they didn’t have much of a choice! Even if we get regular success and stability for a while, I still suspect those same fans will be moaning when we win the title one season but only get 2nd the season after…

Comment #248I feel a lot was due to medias painting Newcastle as the richest club and Saudi’s controversy issues.

Comment #249Munster, What happens if you are 1/2 Irish and 100% Geordie? Asking for a Frenchy

Comment #250I feel a fan should support the club’s players even when they make mistakes or not among the best players if they give it all on the pitch. I really can’t understand why some would call their own club’s player shit and stuffs etc…Would they call their own kids shit if one of their kid is not as good as others? 100% NO WAY, unless they are scumbags right?

You’re concerned at the demise of the Breakfast Club?
The BC’s suffered the same fate as the night shift and dare I say it, the Blog in general – long established posters have been pi$$ed off by the arrival of a clique of arrogant and aggressively opinionated posters many using alts.
