Newcastle vs Man City - Ankle injury sidelines Newcastle forward Joselu for City clash
Posted Tuesday, January 29, 2019 by PA
Newcastle striker Joselu is out of Tuesday night’s Premier League clash with Manchester City.
The frontman damaged an ankle during a rare start in Saturday’s 2-0 FA Cup fourth round defeat by Watford and will miss out, although Salamon Rondon was always likely to lead the line after being rested along with six key team-mates at the weekend.
Joselu will join defender Paul Dummett (hamstring) and midfield trio Jonjo Shelvey (thigh), Mohamed Diame (hip) and Ki Sung-yueng on the sidelines, while striker Yoshinori Muto remains on duty with Japan at the Asian Cup.
Benjamin Mendy is doubtful for Manchester City.
The France left-back suffered a minor reaction following his comeback from a knee injury in last week’s Carabao Cup win at Burton and was not involved in the FA Cup against Burnley on Saturday.
Captain Vincent Kompany remains on the sidelines with a muscular problem while goalkeeper Claudio Bravo (Achilles) is a long-term absentee.
