Eddie Howe reveals that Sandro Tonali could be available on Sunday after suffering a hamstring injury against West Ham.
Newcastle are set to face Fulham in their final Premier League match of the season and Tonali is a doubt after going off injured in their win over West Ham last week.
Howe gave an update on the Italian’s fitness.
“Sandro, potentially, will be available,” he said. “We will look at him again today. We don’t think it is anything serious.”
Osula scored twice in the 3-1 win over relegation threatened West Ham and Howe was once again full of praise for the striker.
“He is at a really good age,” Howe explained. “Lots of things to continue to work on, there are lots of untapped areas we can develop.
“The ceiling in his development is really high. He has the raw ingredients, the physical profile too. It was great to win our last home game. That left us all with a great feeling. We want to end the season on a real high.”
Newcastle’s form has turned on it’s head over the last month. Their last loss came against Premier League Champions Arsenal in April. Howe hopes to continue their good form in their match against Fulham on Sunday.
“We hope to continue the upturn in our recent performances, upturn in our in-possession play, we want to end the season high, it is an important match for us.”
