"There is potentially a sickness in the squad, Nick Woltemade hasn't trained through illness, but we will give him every chance for tomorrow. Tino Livramento is getting closer and closer, this game possibly comes too soon for him. We are desperate for him to become available."
"The striker has been fielded in a midfield position in recent weeks, with Howe looking to crowbar the German into the side along with fellow new recruit Yoane Wissa. In their last outing against Everton, a 3-2 home defeat, Woltemade played as a No10 behind natural winger Anthony Gordon."
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe reports that striker Nick Woltemade has not trained due to illness but may still feature against Manchester United. Defender Tino Livramento remains sidelined with a hamstring injury after missing seven league games, with the match potentially coming too soon for his return. Jacob Ramsey, another summer signing, also fell ill during Newcastle's recent 3-2 home defeat to Everton. Newcastle currently sits 13th in the league following poor form, winning just one of their last seven matches. Manchester United, managed by interim head coach Michael Carrick, sits third after leapfrogging Aston Villa and aims to consolidate their top-four position.
