Lewis Miley’s recent injury is not believed to be a knee issue, according to a report by the Daily Mail’s Craig Hope.
Hope reported that Miley took “a knee to his thigh” during Newcastle’s match in Paris and has since been dealing with a dead leg affecting movement around the knee area.
“Lewis Miley’s injury has been reported as a knee problem this past week, which I understand is not necessarily the case,” Hope reported.
The insider added that Newcastle are hopeful the issue is not serious, but have
taken a cautious approach. The teenager has missed the last two matches, with checks ongoing as the club waits for the problem to settle.
The report also provided an update on Anthony Gordon, with Howe reporting that the winger underwent a scan on Thursday after being forced off with a hamstring issue against Manchester City.
“The word overnight was that the problem was not too serious,” Hope wrote, adding that caution remains until scan results are confirmed.
