Newcastle boss Howe floored by latest Murphy blow

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe says he is in disbelief regarding another key injury.

The Magpies have now lost midfielder Jacob Murphy due to a shoulder injury.

He picked up the knock in their loss to Borussia Dortmund, with Murphy screaming when he was told about the issue minutes after coming onto the field as a substitute.

Howe stated post-game: "I'm absolutely devastated for him.

Let's wait and see how bad it is, but he has been such a big player for us, playing in different positions and a great personality as well, so we'll certainly miss him if he's out."

Newcastle's woes continued, with Alexander Isak also limping off in the game, while Sandro Tonali is now banned for ten months from the sport.
