Miguel Almiron has participated in training with Newcastle United in preparation for their crucial Premier League match against Chelsea at St James’ Park. The Paraguayan player had to leave the field in the previous game against AFC Bournemouth due to injury, but having been withdrawn from international duty with Paraguay, he aims to contribute in the upcoming clash with Chelsea.
The involvement of Swedish striker Alexander Isak in Saturday’s match remains uncertain, as Newcastle must carefully manage their striker options, particularly with Callum Wilson sidelined due to a hamstring injury. However, the positive news is that Fabian Schar, as reported earlier in the week by Chronicle Live, has been declared fit and trained with the Swiss national team. Schar is expected to assume his place in the central defense under Eddie Howe’s management.
Joelinton and Bruno Guimaraes have returned from international duty following Brazil’s contentious match against Argentina in a World Cup qualifier in Rio de Janeiro. There are concerns about Sean Longstaff’s availability, while Lewis Hall is ineligible to play against his parent club. This situation may require Newcastle to deploy either Kieran Trippier or Tino Livramento at left-back, given the injuries to Dan Burn and Matt Targett.
