Gordon, Osula, Livramento - Newcastle injury news and return dates after Athletic Bilbao clash
Newcastle United were dealt several injury blows following their 2-0 win over La Liga side Athletic Club in the Champions League clash at St. James' Park.
Eddie Howe had to make a late change to his matchday squad with Will Osula complaining of an ankle injury, before watching on as Anthony Gordon was forced off the field having struggled with his hip throughout the game.
Dan Burn also appeared to take a knock and was replaced by Lewis Hall just after the hour mark, having opened the scoring for the Magpies with a brilliant header.
Joelinton added another in the second-half to put the result beyond any doubt. With that in mind, ChronicleLive has taken a look at the latest Newcastle injury news after the win over Athletic Club:
Injury: Hip.
The Newcastle winger was a doubt for the clash with Athletic after complaining of a problem with his hip in the defeat to West Ham United. He was declared fit enough to start the Champions League clash with the La Liga side, but would last just 41 minutes before being replaced by Jacob Murphy
What Howe has said (Nov 5): "I have not had a full rundown from the medical team. But it seems like a recurrence of the hip injury that has been plaguing him in recent weeks.
"So we will assess that and see what happens."
Expected return date: Unknown.
Injury: Ankle.
Will Osula was originally named among the substitutes to face Athletic Club, but was withdrawn from the squad after complaining about an ankle injury which he has suffered from over the last few weeks.
What the club has said (Nov 5): "Will Osula will no longer be on the bench this evening due to discomfort in his ankle. He will be assessed further in the coming days. Hope to see you back soon, Will.”
Expected return date: Unknown.
