Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu and Matthijs de Ligt will also miss the Tyneside assignment, while Mason Mount is still sidelined, although he is approaching a return.

What about Shaw

Wrong, it’s Newcastle are not ready for Licha!

Martinez shaw and mount all need to leave. Quality players and not their fault but we need a starting 11 that can actually consistently start

‘Out for a couple of games’ is United speak for ‘won’t be seen or heard from for months’, I’m tired boss

Gotta hope Maguire is fit, he was carrying the entire back four last match on his back until Maz came on.

Hopefully Licha and Mount are back for the next one after international break. De Ligt and Dorgu seem like long term for now.

Our entire back line might need to replaced, how we do that, I have no idea.

Man playing one game a week and we have so many key injuries. Def need more depth if we’re competing in UCL next year
lemmefinishyo on
Honestly one of the positives from Amorim is the amount of depth we have at CB. I’m comfortable with Heaven, Yoro and Maguire, which, after losing De Ligt and Martinez, is more depth than most teams would have. Not ideal obviously, but I think Maguire and Heaven start against Newcastle.
Big_Honeydew4011 on
he’s a good player but there’s no way we can offer him a new contract, way too injury prone

Sell him and mount. Injury champions
Benphyre on
and some fans were saying sell Maguire lmao. Imagine going into next season with Heaven + Yoro fit
maxithepittsP on
Maguire and Licha have topnotch chemistry, both handling the ball exceptionally well, but as always, things just dont go our way.

Man. I would love to see a MDL / Martinez pairing.
Suspect that will have to wait until next year the way this is going.

Or are Newcastle not ready for Martinez?

One of the characteristics of Carrick is that he gives absolutely nothing, no updates on players, lineups, nothing. At times it frustrates us fans that we don’t have updates at the same time, it vexes the entire media landscape which thrives of spreading negativity around the club. I prefer the latter, can live without regular updates the club but it helps us massively to keep a lid on the negativity
StopDontCare on
Genuinely getting tired of this. Need stop with this
-player gets injured
– manager comes out next press conference and says it will be a short time period injury
Just give the player’s status on the next match, don’t put a time frame on it. de Ligt was supposedly a couple matches, it’s now going on 3 months. Martinez was supposed to be a week, it’s now over a week.

Anyone surprised? Be Iucky to see him again this season.

“Phew, it’s only one game”, said the comments after the initial announcement

We need 2 more decent CBs because De Ligt and Martinez cant stay fit for a full season.

Fortunately Newcastle ranks are apparently just as depleted (although not wishing ill health on anyone).
BitterConstruction98 on
With the injury records of de Ligt, Martinez, Maguire, and Shaw, we’d be better off bringing in some defensive reinforcements in the summer after the midfield is sorted.

Need to find a replacement for him. Insane how much time he’s missed. Bayern seems ready to sell Kim min jae I think that could a decent replacement.
Heavens_Vibe on
I know things can change rapidly with injuries, but seriously, whoever comes up with these “out for a couple of games” explanations for our injuries deserves a slap around the head.
