Newcastle facing five absentees ahead of Premier League fixture
Newcastle approach their Premier League fixture on 5 September with a lengthy absentee list, as five players are unavailable for selection.
The absences
Daniel Burn is out with an ankle injury, while Valentino Livramento is sidelined with a hamstring injury. Joelinton and William Osula are also listed as unavailable through injury.
Matias Fernandez-Pardo is missing for a different reason, with the club citing ongoing transfer negotiations as the cause of his unavailability.
With five names off the teamsheet before a ball is kicked, the squad depth will be tested as Newcastle look to build on the opening weeks of the season.
