""It's not high on my agenda, with the squad we currently have, to be losing players. I think we will see as players return from injury, there is no certain thing until they are actually back and performing. "But if there is anyone in the squad that we feel would, between us and them, benefit from going, then we will certainly look at it from an individual basis.""
""I think it is going to be a consistently moving thing for us. "I've had a brief discussion, I wouldn't say detailed at the moment, because we don't know how we are going to look injury-wise as we turn the year. "We have a group of players that are going to be very close to coming back around that time, so that will obviously impact our business, so keeping very much an open mind at this stage.""
Eddie Howe will not allow players to leave Newcastle United in January as the squad is currently depleted by injuries. Seven first-team players are sidelined, including Kieran Trippier, Nick Pope, Dan Burn, Sven Botman and Tino Livramento, who has a knee issue. Howe expects some absentees to return soon and does not prioritise outgoings while replacements remain uncertain. Any potential departures will be considered only if they clearly benefit both the club and the individual on a case-by-case basis. Incoming transfer decisions will depend on the squad's injury status as the new year approaches.
