Newcastle United have seemingly been handed a timely injury boost ahead of their return to Premier League football on Monday.
Matthias Jaissle was coy in his press conference when asked about who would return for the Coventry City away day, confirming only Joelinton and Nico Gonzalez’s availability. The head coach did say, however, that ‘three or four’ could be back in the squad, but stopped short of naming them.
But, the club’s social media accounts went on step further than Jaissle, and showed both Amar Dedic and Will Osula back with the rest of the group.
It is not known the level to which they trained, or when they were actually back with the first-team squad this week, but it was boost to see them around, all the same.
Dedic missed the Premier League win over Hull City with a muscle issue, while Osula has not kicked a ball since limping out of the opening day draw with Liverpool with an foot problem.
Speaking about the injury situation earlier, Jaissle said: “We hope that three four players are are ready to be in the squad.
“Joe (Joelinton) you seen. Others are coming back definitely and this is helpful for sure but we need to be smart as well in the load management. They have the potential to be in the squad but for sure not in the starting 11.”
