\u2014 Fantasy Football Scout (@FFScout) October 8, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n NEWCASTLE UNITED<\/p>\n Matthias Jaissle hopes to have \u201cthree or four\u201d previously sidelined players back for the trip to Coventry City on Monday.<\/p>\n Two of them are Joelinton (groin), who returned to training over the break, and Nico Gonzalez, who missed out in Gameweek 5 with a concussion.<\/p>\n \u201cFor now, we hope that three or four players are ready to be in the squad.<\/p>\n \u201cI think Joe[linton], you saw already [in the open training session last week], he was partially invovled there. He\u2019s now progressing, he\u2019s doing better and better.<\/p>\n \u201cAlso, one of the others is coming back, definitely, and this is helpful, for sure, but we need to be smart as well in the load management. They have the potential to be in the squad but, for sure, not in the starting XI.\u201d \u2013 Matthias Jaissle <\/p>\n Jacob Ramsey (thigh), Amar Dedic (hamstring), Anthony Elanga (unknown), Dan Burn (ankle), Will Osula (foot) and Tino Livramento (unspecified) were not pictured in training<\/a> when Joelinton was, although we\u2019ve had another eight days since then, and based on the quotes above, it sounds like one or more may be back for the clash with Coventry.<\/p>\n Jaissle added that goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen will be out for \u201ca couple of months\u201d with a hamstring injury. Everyone else has returned from international duty pretty much unscathed.<\/p>\n \u201cThey have returned but not everyone was today in. I have allowed some of them an extra day [off]. Tomorrow, we will be fully back.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are, in general, pleased [by the lack of new injuries]. Ewen was a difficult one, with a hamstring. He will be out for a couple of months, but the rest should be okay.\u201d \u2013 Matthias Jaissle on his returning internationals<\/p>\n Lewis Miley has reportedly been given the go-ahead to train this week<\/a> despite pulling out of the England under-21 squad.<\/p>\n BOURNEMOUTH<\/p>\n Marco Rose has confirmed that Alex Scott (tendon) faces weeks on the sidelines. The midfielder picked up an issue while away with England.<\/p>\n In some consolation, the timeline sounds a bit better than the potential two-month absence originally mooted.<\/p>\n \u201cIt depends, we are going to see. I am not a doctor. It\u2019s a muscle injury and we do [a scan] in some days again, but we are going to miss him, for sure, for four or five weeks.\u201d \u2013 Marco Rose on the length of Alex Scott\u2019s absence<\/p>\n Elsewhere, David Brooks seems to be fine, despite pulling out of the Wales squad at the end of September.<\/p>\n \u201cBrooksy is fully in team training.\u201d \u2013 Marco Rose<\/p>\n Justin Kluivert (muscle), Veljko Milosavljevic (knee), Amine Adli (calf), Eli Kroupi (foot) and Julian Araujo (thigh) are all back on the grass and could return in the next week or two.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have still [got] injuries but most of the lads are back on the pitch with rehab coaches or in parts of training with the team, so yeah, we can see light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe for the Graz [match on Thursday] or the Sunderland game [next Sunday], we\u2019re going to have one or two players back.<\/p>\n \u201cNearly everyone is back on the pitch, just Alex [who is not].\u201d \u2013 Marco Rose<\/p>\n SUNDERLAND<\/p>\n Dan Ballard and Brian Brobbey (both hamstring) will miss out in Gameweek 6 after picking up injuries over the international break. <\/p>\n Ballard\u2019s issue is the more serious of the two, with Brobbey potentially returning next week alongside Habib Diarra (hamstring).<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a shame for Ballard because he was in a good place and he will be sidelined for a few weeks. A medium-term injury, so we\u2019ll keep you updated. <\/p>\n \u201cFor Brian, like Habib, they are on the same schedule and will be available soon.<\/p>\n \u201c[Habib is] really close. He\u2019s in a good place. Almost every session is needed for the full recovery. So, in around one week, he\u2019ll be fully available. <\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s going to be short-term [for Brobbey, as well]. It\u2019s really positive, we were a bit worried when we saw the video but Brian, just after the game, wasn\u2019t too worried because he experienced different injuries in the past. This one, he was adamant that it wasn\u2019t too serious \u2013 and it\u2019s the case. We won\u2019t take too many risks, but it won\u2019t be too long.\u201d \u2013 Regis Le Bris<\/p>\n In quotes given to the written press<\/a>, Regis Le Bris said Ballard would be \u201cavailable for the second part of the season\u201d.<\/p>\n Romaine Mundle (knee) remains on the sidelines, too, but Reinildo is back, having served a one-match ban after his dismissal for two bookable offences in Gameweek 4.\u00a0<\/p>\n Noah Sadiki shook off a scare to feature for DR Congo in their final outing of the last fortnight.<\/a><\/p>\n LEEDS UNITED<\/p>\n Harry Wilson (quad) returned to training over the international break.<\/p>\n
