The Chronicle says Willock could be injured now 

If you read the article it refers to "doubts" for his form not injury related.

The disrespect shown here to our very own Sean Longstaff is staggering. If he was called Longstafferini we'd be calling for his immediate inclusion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Probably not mind, he's a bit shit really. 😆

TBF I don't/can't read the full articles because of those daft adverts that take up 95% of the screen, if I had my choice though its Miley all day for me

"Newcastle United are continuing to assess Joelinton on a day-to-day basis with club insiders not writing off his season just yet.

The £40million man missed the 3-0 win over Ipswich Town last weekend and has not trained since. The 28-year-old will be sidelined for the trip to Brighton & Hove Albion, but a return before the end of the campaign has not been ruled out.

No risks will be taken on Joelinton, and should Newcastle bag their Champions League place early, he could be rested with Eddie Howe knowing he has plenty of back-up in midfield. However, by the same token if he is deemed fit enough and Newcastle need him in a potentially crunch late season game, he could come back into consideration."

When we played arsenal away howe went with a five at the back because joelinton was out and his bench options aren't good enough defensively. 

I think howe might do the same in the two away fixtures. 

And use Willock in the two at home switching back to our familiar 4-3-3.
