Jason Tindall has provided an injury update ahead of Newcastle United vs Crystal Palace.

It is a quick turnaround for the Magpies, who can go third in the Premier League if they avoid defeat to Oliver Glasner’s side.

After Newcastle beat Man United on Sunday, they have the chance to make it six wins in a row in all competitions against Crystal Palace.

Newcastle United are in spectacular form, but will be without manager Eddie Howe as he continues his recovery from pneumonia.

Jason Tindall shares Joe Willock injury update

With Howe set to be absent once again, it will be Jason Tindall taking charge of Newcastle United alongside Graeme Jones.

They orchestrated an impressive victory over Man United at the weekend, and Tindall has now revealed that his squad will be even stronger for Wednesday night’s game.

Ahead of facing Palace, Tindall provided an update on Joe Willock after the midfielder was forced to miss Newcastle’s last two games with concussion.

“He’s now exiting the concussion protocols so he’s available now to be involved in the squad tomorrow,” Tindall said.

The 25-year-old is available once again, while Tindall has added that the Magpies have not picked up any fresh injuries following the win over Man United.

“Everybody has come away from Sunday fine,” he said.

“It was good to get Anthony Gordon some minutes and good to have him back with the qualities he’s got. The squad is in good shape.”

Newcastle United’s midfield back to full strength amid suspension fears

With Willock set to return, the Magpies suddenly have all six of their midfield options available once again.

The £25million player should be on the bench, with Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Joelinton expected to start against Crystal Palace. The trio were exceptional at the weekend, with many arguing that Newcastle have the Premier League’s best midfield.

However, it could potentially be broken up. That is because Joelinton will be suspended for two games if he is booked versus Crystal Palace.

If that does happen, Willock will be hoping it is him who starts against Aston Villa and Ipswich Town ahead of Sean Longstaff and Lewis Miley.

Willock’s last start came on February 26th when the Magpies lost 2-0 to Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League. He has made 35 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring three goals and providing two assists.

Despite only starting 14 games, Willock is happy at Newcastle.
