Newcastle suffer ANOTHER injury blow as Miguel Almiron limps off in the first half of their trip to Bournemouth… with the forward adding to Eddie Howe’s lengthy list of absentees

• Newcastle’s Miguel Almiron faces a spell on the sidelines after a muscle issue 
• The forward dropped to the ground and was then replaced inside the first half 
• Man Utd are NOT good enough to have a ball-playing keeper – It’s All Coming Up 

Newcastle’s injury nightmare took another turn for the worse after Miguel Almiron limped off during the first half of their Premier League trip to Bournemouth.

The forward dropped to the ground after suffering an apparent hamstring issue at Vitality Stadium and was unable to continue following checks by medics.

Experienced winger Matt Ritchie was brought on to replace him.

Eddie Howe’s staggering list of absentees now stands at 12, with key players Callum Wilson, Bruno Guimaraes, Alexander Isak and Sven Botman among those ruled out.

Almiron was dogged by a similar problem last season and found himself ruled out for several matches. He is now at risk of sitting out part of this campaign, too.

Sandro Tonali has been suspended for betting offences while Javi Manquillo, Harvey Barnes, Elliot Anderson, Dan Burn and Matt Targett missed out at Bournemouth. 

Jacob Murphy, who has enjoyed a strong season, is expected back early next year. 

Regardless, boss Howe is determined not to use his injury woes as an excuse.

Before the game on the south coast, he said: ‘Have I ever had this many missing? Not to this level. But I don’t want to build it up to be any more than it is. 

‘We’re still good enough.’
