In the shadow of St. James’ Park, where the winds of Northumberland howl through the Gallowgate End and the spirit of the Magpies runs as deep as the Tyne River, Newcastle United weaves a tale of passion, pride, and unyielding ambition. A club steeped in history, where every match is a story of drama, loyalty, and the unrelenting desire for greatness. From the iconic stadium’s terraces to the hearts of its devoted fans, Newcastle United is a tapestry woven with threads of tradition, values, and an unbreakable bond between team and supporters. The echoes of past glories and the whispers of future dreams converge in a narrative that is quintessentially Toon.
In this crucible of emotion and footballing dreams, manager Eddie Howe navigates the complexities of the Premier League with a blend of pragmatism and progressive vision. A leader who understands the pulse of the team and the fervor of its fans, Howe is sculpting a Newcastle United that is both resilient and dynamic. And now, as the Magpies prepare to host Wolves at St. James’ Park, injury news brings both challenge and intrigue to the eve of battle.
Newcastle United has been dealt a double injury blow ahead of their meeting with Wolves. Eddie Howe confirmed that both Yoane Wissa and Jacob Ramsey will be unavailable for the match. Wissa, who joined Newcastle in the summer, is suffering from a knee injury sustained while on international duty with DR Congo. Ramsey will miss the game due to an ankle injury picked up against Leeds United.
“Unfortunately he won’t make this game. I saw him for the first time yesterday and he’s feeling the effects of the injury sustained just before he came off [while on international duty]. We’re going to have to see how he is.”
On the brighter side, Eddie Howe confirmed that Joelinton is fit and available after recovering from a groin issue. Club-record signing Nick Woltemade is also fit and could make his debut against Wolves.
“He’s fine [for Wolves]. He’s trained well and we’re really pleased with how he’s looked in the first couple of days. Big change for him, big opportunity for him. He’s got a great nature, a great character. He’s very calm and he’s gone straight into our training and not looked out of place. He’s shown his qualities. We’re really pleased with how he’s settled in.”
“Joe has trained. He’s been fit and available, he’s been out on the training pitch and is looking good. Really happy to welcome him back, such an important player.”
Jacob Ramsey’s absence will be felt, with the midfielder expected to miss several weeks due to his ankle injury.
“Jacob is our only other injury concern and he’ll miss the game. He’s suffered from that tackle against Leeds, his ankle swelled up at half-time and he had to come off. Unfortunately I think he’ll be missing until the next international break so that’s a big blow.”
