Newcastle United’s injury struggles have continued as midfielder Lewis Miley has been forced to withdraw from the England Under-20s squad due to a back injury. The teenager missed England’s recent victory over Czechia, with Lewis Hall stepping in as a substitute during the match.
Reports suggest Miley could be sidelined for up to six weeks, missing important upcoming fixtures against West Ham United, Everton, Fulham, and Tottenham Hotspur. The young talent has played a significant role for Newcastle this season, stepping up in the absence of several key players.
As Newcastle gears up to face West Ham this weekend, Miley’s absence is a significant blow to the team. The midfielder will undergo further assessment upon his return, with manager Eddie Howe expected to provide an update during Friday morning’s press conference.
This injury setback adds to Newcastle’s woes during the international break, with defender Sven Botman also confirmed to be out for an extended period due to an ACL injury. Goalkeeper Martin Dubravka’s absence from international duty remains a mystery, adding to the growing list of concerns for the team as they head into the final stretch of the season.
