Official Newcastle United injury update ahead of this Burnley match

An official Newcastle United injury update on Friday.

Eddie Howe talking to journalists.

A victory on Saturday against Burnley would make it 10 points from a possible 12 in the Premier League since the November international break.

Following up those great performances and results against Man City and Everton, then the point that should have been three against Spurs.

That Spurs match should have made it seven home wins in a row, in all competitions, for Newcastle United.

Absolutely imperative that Newcastle United kick off a new run of home wins on Saturday.
