Elanga returns to Newcastle squad after injury — Interia Sport

Swedish winger Anthony Elanga, ahead of the November match in Warsaw, Poland, has returned to training after an injury and was included in Newcastle’s matchday squad for Sunday’s game against Crystal Palace. This was reported by Interia Sport, citing comments by the team’s head coach, Matthias Jaissle.

Return to training

According to Jaissle, Elanga is not yet ready to spend all 90 minutes on the pitch. At the same time, the footballer has been training normally for a week and may play.

At the beginning of September, the 24-year-old player suffered a biceps femoris injury. Initially, he was expected to remain off the pitch until the end of the year, but he was later included in the squad for the match against Crystal Palace.
