Lewis Hall News: Should be fine going forward

Hall should be fine for Friday's match against Manchester Unite despite having another reaction in his hamstring, according to manager Eddie Howe. "I believe Lewis came through OK," Howe said. "We're still very aware that he's had a little reaction to his hamstring but there is still part of us that will be nursing him through the upcoming games, we need to keep an eye on him.

Hall is fine and went the full 90 against Chelsea, but with so many matches ahead, there's a chance he'll be rested in an upcoming match. It'll likely be a precarious situation because a bad hamstring is not something you want to play on. Unfortunately for Newcastle, they don't have any senior team left-backs available to them if Hall has to rest at all in upcoming matches.
