Premier League: Eddie Howe admits that the Newcastle, planned to be injured against Arsenal, has completed

The head of Newcastle United, Eddie Howe, admits that his squad is within the last weeks of the season.

Newcastle goes to Arsenal on Sunday. The Toon will be in third place in Emirates, with the five best qualifications for the Elite competition qualify.

Howe said on Friday morning: “We are light. January played a role when we lost two players from the squad. I think we made ourselves very well this season to manage a small squad.

“I think our injury record this season was partly very good. We managed to keep the majority of players fit.

“You will always get one or two injuries, but yes, I think we are in the position with our squad, where if you get, and sometimes this can have a number of injuries and it can look thin very quickly so that the thumb can be crossed, we can maintain our strength to the end.”

Unfortunate botman was injured again

Defender Sven Botman, who has suffered a new knee injury, is one of these injuries. However, Howe insists that it was not another ACL.

He also said: “No, no, that's not the case at all. We don't think it's serious.

“I think I can feel that he is frustrated. I was in the majority of the second half of my career where they get disappointments, things come up with them and they cannot necessarily control them.

“This is the nature of sport, sometimes you will have an idea where an injury comes from, sometimes it just comes out of the blue and there is nothing you can do about it.

“I think Sven was really unhappy in the last two occasions, there is absolutely nothing you can do, it is part of his profession.

“He is brave, he is a full -hearted player he has to be in his position, and of course you will sometimes come out on the wrong side of these challenges, and above all there is no long -term damage.

“Because he is such an important player for us, they saw every time he played this season, the contribution he made to the team.”

Champions League qualification not yet carried out

When Howe went to Arsenal, Newcastle realizes that her Champions League boost has not yet been settled.

He explained: “It's not ready yet. The picture can change the game into the game and I think we really have to concentrate on our next game and try to win it.

“We were, our preparation was good and the focus is on the players. Nothing is achieved until it is reached. We only have to be left in this opinion and not be distracted.

“We really have to concentrate on our next game and try to win what we will do and we did this week. I think the preparation was good, the focus was on the players.

“I think the outer noise will always be influenced by how you have done, and it is positive – but nothing is achieved until it is reached. Therefore we have to be really determined and not distracted.”
