Eddie Howe has options for Newcastle ahead of the AC Milan reunion with the injury loss of Sandro Tonali Newcastle United midfielder
Sandro Tonali has emerged as an injury doubt after the international break, missing Italy’s Euro qualifier against Ukraine.
SEAN LONGSTAFF & ELLIOT ANDERSON “Maybe the Show” VS BRENTFORD Eddie Howe could make a decision when Newcastle United return with news of Sandro Tonali’s injury.
Italy’s Euro 2024 qualifiers with Ukraine were ruled out last Tuesday night after a summer signing, following a disappointing draw in North Macedonia four days earlier. Reports from Italy indicate that Tonali was diagnosed with muscle fatigue at Milan’s Columbus Clinic.
United have reportedly been informed of the latest move for the 23-year-old as he doubts whether he will be able to play in next week’s Champions League opener against former club AC Milan at the San Siro.
Tonali could feature against Brentford on Saturday after the international break, having been rested against Ukraine in midweek.
But with the Italy international ruled out of the clash with the Bees – and a possible reunion with AC Milan – what are Howe’s chances? Longstaff Remembrance Despite Newcastle’s stuttering start to the current campaign, it is the current formation and philosophy that have produced some very impressive results under Howe.
As such, it can be difficult for a head coach to move away from this system due to one potential injury.
