Newcastle United head coach Matthias Jaissle must decide on team selection for Saturday's visit of Aston Villa with several players returning from injury.
Newcastle United head coach Matthias Jaissle must wait for medical clearance before deciding his team for Saturday's visit of Aston Villa. Several key players returned to action during Monday night's 4-1 defeat to Coventry City. Joelinton and Amar Dedic played more than half an hour, William Osula came on for 12 minutes, and club captain Dan Burn appeared in stoppage time.
It remains unclear whether Burn will return to the starting eleven or if Jaissle will disrupt the partnership of Malick Thiaw and Sven Botman at the back, both of whom featured as Newcastle conceded four goals at Leeds and Coventry. Jaissle said the returning players are 'big players for me and for the club' and that they 'will come on stronger and stronger' over the coming weeks as they build match fitness.
When asked about naming returning stars in his starting XI, Jaissle said he wants them 'at their best physically'. He acknowledged that Newcastle's performance at Coventry 'was not the worst game' but apologised to fans who 'deserved a different result'.
