Newcastle United is poised to strengthen their support staff by welcoming a Leicester City staff member to the North East, addressing the challenges of an injury-ridden season.
With a surge in unexpected injuries, including a setback for Alexander Isak sidelining him for up to four weeks, the physio team has faced criticism.
To counter this, they are reportedly adding Jonny King to their ranks, seeking a fresh perspective on injury management. Eddie Howe navigates a tough situation with the team lacking a recognized striker and Bruno Guimaraes on the brink of suspension.
While ideal January transfers seem unlikely, King’s arrival as head physio, reuniting with Howe after a decade at Bournemouth, holds promise for addressing current issues and preventing future setbacks.
