Newcastle United are facing a selection headache in defense as Eddie Howe prepares his squad for a high-intensity Boxing Day clash against Manchester United.
Eddie Howe has revealed that the club is currently navigating a defensive injury crisis that has forced him to utilize midfielders like Lewis Miley in emergency defensive roles.
The Magpies are sweating on the fitness of several key starters, including Tino Livramento, as the club waits for final clarification on a recent knock.
Howe expressed hope that the injury is not serious, but he admitted that the lack of available bodies is a major concern heading into a congested festive schedule.
