Vladimir Coufal Injuries

'Vlad still has a bit of a feeling, so I think the game will come a little too soon for him. He's got an outside chance for Leicester.' 'Both players are progressing but won't make the squad on Thursday. Vladi certainly has a chance for Newcastle, and Lucas, we'll have to keep an eye on him.' 'Lucas (Paqueta) has trained this week, as has Coufal. Obviously, we’ve got a few more days to go until the game, but if they react well, we’ve got a chance they’ll be involved in the game.'

'Vladimir was also stunned by a couple of challenges, but we'll check them, and hopefully, they'll be OK.'

'Coufal, Zouma, Paqueta and Michail Antonio are being assessed. We'll assess them after training on Saturday and make a decision after that.'

'He felt his hamstring, so we need to check it tomorrow. Hopefully, it's not too bad.' 'Vlad won't be available for this game. He's hurt his hamstring, and we're not sure exactly how bad it is. We're hoping it's not too bad.' 'He is starting to do some light jogging. And so, he's improving, but he has just got a slight hamstring tweak, and you are always not sure when the right time is [to bring him back]. Hopefully, we get him back soon too.'

'Vladimir has a heel injury that will keep him out.' 'Vladimir has a plantar fascia issue in his heel, and time will help it, but he's not available for this game.' 'Vladimir has got plantar fascia; I don't know if he is going to be back in the week, but he is improving. Maybe could be back for after the international break.'

'We’re going to have to take a look at Vladimir because he took a real clatter in the game the other night [at Leeds]. It should have been a sending-off.'

'Coufal was knocked out against Brighton. He's fine, but the concussion protocols are he can't play.'

"Vladimir we've brought back and we're still not totally convinced he's 100 per cent, so he might just need a bit more time."

"It will be close but we hope there is a good chance that he's ready."

"Vladimir has taken an injection he had a bit of discomfort in his pubis. He got the injury in the Man United cup game and he has been carrying it for a few weeks."

"They’re both not bad, so we’re not thinking that they’re too far away. There is a chance they could both be available and hopefully they’ll both be okay."
