Howe's Magpies Face Forest Amidst Transfer Speculation
10 May
Summary
- Newcastle United faces Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
- Key players Fabian Schar, Miley, and Livramento are absent.
- Speculation surrounds Cesc Fabregas and Luis Suarez's availability.
Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has announced his starting eleven for the Premier League fixture against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. The Magpies enter the match having recently ended a winless streak with a 3-1 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion at St James' Park.
Howe's squad selection sees Nick Pope in goal, with a defense comprising Dan Burn, Sven Botman, Malick Thiaw, and Lewis Hall. The midfield is set to feature Sandro Tonali, Joelinton, and Bruno Guimaraes, supported by wingers Jacob Murphy and Nick Woltemade, with William Osula leading the attack.
Several key players, including Fabian Schar, Lewis Miley, and Tino Livramento, are unavailable for selection. This presents a challenge for Howe as he aims to secure back-to-back wins against a Nottingham Forest side determined to solidify their Premier League status.
Recent speculation has linked Newcastle with potential transfer targets, including exploring Cesc Fabregas's availability and sounding out Sporting Lisbon attacker Luis Suarez. Howe's immediate focus, however, remains on motivating his players for the crucial clash.
