The Story in 60 Seconds

Newcastle United will be without Anthony Elanga, Jacob Ramsey, and Tino Livramento for their upcoming Premier League fixture against Aston Villa, according to Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie. Manager Matthias Jaissle continues to navigate squad absences following a heavy 4-1 loss to Coventry City, though Joelinton is reportedly in line to make his first start of the season after returning from a long-term injury.

Club captain Dan Burn also returned to action as a substitute against Coventry but is expected to remain on the bench against Aston Villa. Elanga and Ramsey are scheduled to resume training next week, while Livramento remains sidelined for a few more weeks. GiveMeSport argues that Newcastle must make tactical adjustments to overcome their recent inconsistent form.
