Newcastle, England – Na wah oh! As dem say, ‘injury no dey send,’ Newcastle United don catch style for dem recent match wey dem lose 3-2 to some big boys from the Premier League. Na Monday night e happen for St James' Park, and e be like say the team bin dey try get better form, but injuries no let dem shine.
As players dey sub off, two main guys, Sandro Tonali and Joelinton, don waka go injury list. Their coach, Eddie Howe, don talk say e no sure how long dem go dey out, but e no dey look good at all (whew!). How this season wan shape up for dem? We fit just call am a bitter start.
Sef, dis injury wahala no be only for Tonali and Joelinton. Anthony Gordon too don carry red card from the game, meaning he go dey chill out for three matches! Dem need to hurry up find replacement before dem go enter serious wahala. With Alexander Isak still on the bench, na big gobe dey show for dem forward line. Na wetin dey happen when dem no fit find early replacements during the transfer window. E no suppose reach this level, but life be like that sometimes.
After the match, Howe come dey talk to Sky Sports, wahala e say “it’s a pretty bad day.” (Chai, dat one na straight talk). E dey proud of how dem play, but injuries don turn am inside out. How person fit play well but still come out empty-handed? Dem even allow Bruno Guimaraes to score – a little glimmer of hope, but dat wan no go reach ground level.
Everywhere don dey hot, as Newcastle don dey lose out on major guys wey dem find for the transfer market – like Hugo Ekitike wey don go another club. If dem no rush come up with replacements before dem transfer window close, e fit be serious matter for dem. Onygo dey see wetin go happen during their next match against Leeds.
Fans dey hold their breath, as dem know say no be small wahala when your key players no dey on ground. If dem fit push through dis damaged lineup, maybe—just maybe—dem fit still gather some points from their upcoming matches. But for now, na just pray hard wey go work. We go dey watch as dem dey try survive this football jungle.
