BORUSSIA DORTMUND 2-0 NEWCASTLE UNITED: Eddie Howe's side were well beaten in Germany as absences caught up with the Geordies who now face early elimination
A lot of the injuries are from impact. Tonali is banned and not injured. He has 10 months to keep fit and integrate.
Problem is we’re playing more games so there are more chances for injuries to occur.
Targett and Wilson are the only muscle injuries. Targett hasn’t featured much and Wilson was injury-prone during Bruceball.
We qualified for the Champions League several seasons too early without the infrastructure in place to cope. Hopefully it frees up funds within our limotFFP budget to introduce more squad members.
I reckon Minteh is involved in the team next season, possibly Kuol if he makes progress. Even just one of them would really ease the burden on Gordon, Barnes, Miggy and Murphy.
I’d be surprised if Kuol ever makes 10 first team appearances for us.
He’s been hopping between the bench and starting in the 16th (of 18) placed Eredivisie team, last year he could barely even get off the bench in the Scottish league.
I hope I’m proven wrong but I don’t see him making the step between his current performances and a team that wants CL football every year within the time that he’ll get.
