NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, ENGLAND – DECEMBER 04: <> during the Premier League match between Newcastle United FC and Liverpool FC at St James’ Park on December 04, 2024 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

Newcastle United must promptly regain their composure. Certainly, the disappointing loss on Saturday will soon be overshadowed if Newcastle is able to secure a place in the Carabao Cup final on Wednesday evening.

Newcastle suffered a 2-1 defeat to Fulham, despite initially taking the lead through Jacob Murphy, in what proved to be a profoundly disappointing afternoon at St James’ Park. The recent loss of two consecutive home matches does not contribute positively to the atmosphere in anticipation of Arsenal’s visit for the second leg of the semi-final.

Nevertheless, Newcastle maintains a 2-0 lead following their victory at the Emirates Stadium, an event that now seems to have occurred an eternity ago.

Regrettably for Newcastle, there exists a concern regarding an injury. Joelinton appears to be a doubtful participant for Newcastle’s upcoming match against Arsenal, having sustained an injury during the match against Fulham, which undoubtedly represents a significant setback for the team.

Eddie Howe has confirmed a potential injury advantage for Newcastle United in anticipation of their upcoming match against Arsenal. Wilson has not participated in a match since the defeat against Brentford in December.

Nevertheless, it seems that the striker is poised to rejoin the squad for the upcoming match against the Gunners; however, it remains uncertain whether he will participate from the outset.Alexander Isak undoubtedly serves as Newcastle’s primary striker, and it is nearly inconceivable to envision him absent from the match against Arsenal.

However, the return of Callum Wilson significantly enhances the team’s prospects for both this particular fixture and the remainder of the season. In remarks following the defeat to Fulham, Howe stated, “Callum is expected to be available for Wednesday’s match.”

“He has undergone training on several occasions and has demonstrated commendable performance.” I will, of course, engage with all individuals associated with Callum and his well-being, ensuring that we include him at the appropriate moment.
