To come away with nothing, injuries, suspensions and concussions – it’s a pretty bad day.

“Sandro [Tonali]’s doesn’t look good, he was in quite a bit of pain.

I don’t know the full extent of his or Joelinton’s injury, but they both look quite threatening to us.”

The Newcastle boss later issued a further update on defender Fabian Schar who picked up a concussion during the match and was also replaced.

Howe told BBC’s Match of the Day: “I don't know with Joe and Sandro, it doesn't look good when a player comes off, especially because both looked in a little bit of pain, they'd be huge blow for us if they're not available.

“Anthony [Gordon] will be suspended and Fabian [Schar] had concussion, so not good."

Newcastle have had a difficult summer transfer window losing out on targets, such as Hugo Ekitike, to other clubs and having bids rejected from other Premier League sides.

With a week left before the window closes they may need to accelerate deals in order to bring in potential replacements for their injured and suspended players or risk worsening a start that has seen them collect just one point from two strong performances.
