Newcastle United's Lewis Miley is a doubt for upcoming matches against Everton due to a hamstring issue, according to manager Matthias Jaissle. Miley missed the team's 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday. Jaissle stated that Miley had been struggling with an issue affecting his hamstring. The midfielder is expected to be unavailable for both the Carabao Cup and Premier League fixtures against Everton.
Jaissle expressed hope for Miley's return soon, stating that the medical department is doing a great job. Newcastle has several midfield options available, including Jacob Ramsey, Joelinton, and Nico Gonzalez, as well as wingers Sean Steur and Aladji Bamba. Miley's absence is part of a larger injury issue for Newcastle, with Tino Livramento and Ewen Jaouen also being unavailable.
Miley's current hamstring issue is not his first injury, having previously battled issues with his back, foot, and glutes. Tino Livramento is out with a knee issue, leaving Amar Dedic as the only fit right-back. Ewen Jaouen is recovering from a hamstring issue sustained while with France's Under-21s.
