knocking on the door due to his quality
Joelinton could start against Villa: "it could be a bit different" for him, Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle said. Bazoumana Touré is "much better" after his knock at Coventry, and Jaissle hopes he rejoins the group on 17 October. He left his XI "open" after that 4-1 loss.
Sean Steur is "knocking on the door due to his quality" but "needs also time", Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle said before Villa. Steur, who did not start at Coventry, is a similar profile to Nico González, but Jaissle said "there's always a potential also to see both."
Newcastle's Matthias Jaissle: Anthony Elanga is "out for many, many weeks" but may partially rejoin training soon, as may Jacob Ramsey. A Villa start likely comes too soon for Dan Burn, who has "just trained a couple of times". Tino Livramento: caution, given his injury history.
