With only 15 matches remaining in the Premier League season, it can be argued that Newcastle will face a disadvantage. The team is already trailing behind the clubs above them, and with numerous unresolved injury concerns, their struggle is genuine and likely to persist. Currently, Eddie Howe’s squad is positioned in ninth place in the top tier of English football, a significant 13 points away from securing a spot in the Champions League. It is evident that Newcastle will face an arduous battle to qualify for this prestigious European competition. This challenge may be further compounded by the fact that the club has been unable to fully register their squad of 25 players for the remaining matches of the season. As per Sport Bible’s report, the Premier League has confirmed that Newcastle will only have 23 players eligible to participate in these final 15 games. Consequently, if the first-team players suffer additional injuries, the squad will be left with limited options. The two absent players from the registered squad are Javier Manquillo, who was transferred to Celta Vigo in January, and Sandro Tonali, who is currently serving a ban from all football-related activities until the following season.
