That's part of the idea, hopefully!

He also won't be able to play, beyond in the Carabao Cup.

I entirely understand the caution you feel. I share it to a degree. But the foundations are there & Newcastle are building as they go.

Wide defensive areas they are definitely going to be stretched.

Elanga, with coaching, I have confidence can come good. Joelinton is a bit up & down ATM.

Full-time: #NUFC 2-0 #NFFC

Very important win for #NUFC heading into international break.

Laboured through 1st half, had chances to score more in 2nd as game opened up.

Guimaraes' solo goal crucial, Woltemade's pen emphatic. Another clean sheet.

2 big wins in 5 days.

◾ "Not short term" 😬
◽ Sent for one scan already, has to wait 10 days for another 🤕
◾ "Hope" it is not "long term" 🤞
◽ Howe "doesn't have a #NUFC (full-back) rabbit to pull out of hat" 🐰🎩

🗣️ Eddie Howe provides an update on Lewis Hall's hamstring injury:

Woltemade takes the penalty this time with no Gordon on the pitch & converts emphatically.

Anderson was booked for his foul on Guimaraes.

Penalty Newcastle. Anderson concedes it on Guimaraes.

#NUFC needed a moment of inspiration - & Guimaraes has certainly provided it. Quite the goal, this.

#NFFC are furious because Gibbs-White was down after Guimaraes & Burn tackle him, Burn gives it to Guimaraes, who curls beyond Sels from 22 yards.
#NEWNFO
chrisdhwaugh.bsky.social
Goal! Guimaraes!

We're back under way at St James' Park, where it's goalless after the first half.

No changes for either side at the break.
