Newcastle XI vs Bournemouth: Woltemade latest, confirmed team news, injury news and predicted lineup

Newcastle United are set to make changes for Sunday’s Premier League trip to Bournemouth.

Bournemouth vs Newcastle United is a tough game as the Premier League moves back to the top of the agenda for Eddie Howe.

Indeed, Newcastle beat Wolves 1-0 last time out to claim their first League win of the season but were unable to build on that during the week.

Howe’s side lost to Barcelona in the Champions League and now face the difficult task of heading down to the south coast to face an in-form Cherries side.

Following a tight turnaround and with Bradford to come on Wednesday, the Newcastle United manager is widely expected to rotate his squad for the game.

Newcastle United confirmed team news vs Bournemouth

Fabian Schar has confirmed that he will miss Newcastle’s game against Bournemouth with a head injury, having been forced off against Barcelona. Summer signing Malick Thiaw is one of the options to replace him after impressing during his cameo earlier this week.

Elsewhere, Anthony Gordon is suspended and both Yoane Wissa and Jacob Ramsey are injured.

Nick Woltemade was benched from the start against Barcelona as Howe looked to manage the striker’s minutes. He is, however, expected to return to the starting lineup.
