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
I don’t think many of our injuries can be put down to fatigue. Burn fell awkwardly on his back, Murphy also had a bad fall and dislocated his shoulder, Barnes had a very unusual impact injury on his toe. Tonali is suspended. Wilson had had hamstring issues for years before Howe came. Matt Target wasn’t getting any game time and got injured within 2 minutes of his first start, so you can’t put his injury down to being overworked either. Botman also had an impact injury on his knee. I think the only one that could maybe fall under play style is Isak as it’s a muscle injury and he leads our line with the pressing. Our luck has been rotten and it is what it is.
