Newcastle XI vs Wolves: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and injury latest for Premier League

Add as preferred source on Google

Newcastle United will be without summer signings Yoane Wissa and Jacob Ramsey for their Premier League clash with Wolves on Saturday. 

Eddie Howe will be without two of his summer signings for the Premier League clash at home to Wolves after some rotten luck on the injury front. 

Newcastle United need to pick up three points here. Though there are explainable reasons as to why Howe’s side have struggled this season thus far, those excuses will not last forever. 

Wolves have lost all three games so far this season and it would be hugely disappointing to see Newcastle slip up at home against a team they really should be beating.

With that in mind, here’s a look at the latest Newcastle United team news.

Confirmed Newcastle United team news vs Wolves 

Ramsey suffered an ankle injury on his first full start for Newcastle United before the international break and is now expected to be ruled out until October at the earliest.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, Wissa will also miss Newcastle vs Wolves

Howe has confirmed the forward will see a specialist after suffering a knee injury while playing for DR Congo over the international break.

The Newcastle United manager said: “Unfortunately he won’t make this game. I saw him for the first time yesterday and he’s feeling the effects of the injury sustained just before he came off [while on international duty]. We’re going to have to see how he is.”

Joelinton is fit after missing the Leeds game following a groin injury sustained while playing against Liverpool last month. Sven Botman has also been spotted training.

Anthony Gordon, meanwhile, is suspended.

Newcastle United predicted XI vs Wolves

Wissa’s absence will surely mean fellow summer signing Nick Woltemade makes his debut for the club. 

Newcastle United predicted XI: Pope; Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento; Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton; Elanga, Woltemade, Barnes

Suspended: Gordon
