Newcastle wait on final four returnees as Matthias Jaissle looks to step up Coventry preparation

Newcastle United are preparing for their clash against Coventry at the Coventry Building Society Stadium while awaiting the return of four first-team players finishing international duty on Tuesday. Lewis Hall, Lukas Hornicek, Sean Steur, and Aladji Bamba are the remaining squad members scheduled to play before joining team training on Thursday.

Several other international players, including Matias Fernandez-Pardo, Malick Thiaw, Bazoumana Toure, and Yoane Wissa, have already completed their national team commitments. Goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen sustained a hamstring injury with France Under-21s, while midfielder Lewis Miley is expected to feature after avoiding a serious issue.
