Osula doubtful for Everton return after ankle injury

Summarised from 2 outlets · 4 reports · Updated 3 Nov, 06:38 · Archive

Newcastle striker Will Osula is a serious doubt for Monday's Premier League match against Everton after rolling his ankle in Thursday's Carabao Cup defeat.

Will Osula suffered an ankle injury during Newcastle United's 3-1 Carabao Cup defeat to Everton on Thursday evening. The striker was substituted at half-time after rolling his ankle when challenged by James Tarkowski as he attempted to shoot in the Everton box.

Osula's injury is particularly significant as he had only recently returned from an earlier ankle injury that had ruled him out since the opening game of the season. Manager Matias Jaissle told reporters: "Will Osula was not able to continue; he twisted his ankle on that occasion when he took the shot. It's too early at the moment [to say if he will be available to play]."

Osula was replaced by Yoane Wissa, who came on for the second half. Newcastle face Everton again on Monday night in a Premier League fixture. Jaissle will continue to monitor Osula's fitness ahead of that match, with the striker now listed as a serious doubt for the return clash.
