Eddie Howe has shown great admiration for one of his Newcastle United players who has faced significant challenges due to injuries throughout the season.
Newcastle has experienced a significant amount of injury issues this season, resulting in the loss of several important players throughout the campaign. However, they are currently on the verge of having a completely healthy team.
Joe Willock’s comeback has had a significant influence on the club. In anticipation of Newcastle’s visit to Chelsea, Howe has expressed how the midfielder possesses a certain quality.
I am delighted to have the Newcastle great back in the team.
Newcastle’s performance has been negatively affected due to the restricted alternatives in their midfield. The trio of Bruno Guimaraes, Sean Longstaff, and Lewis Miley has proven to be too sluggish for the fast-paced nature of the Premier League.
Willock made a triumphant comeback from his injury against Arsenal, immediately leaving a strong impression by scoring an exceptional header towards the end of the match. Throughout the game, Newcastle had displayed a lackluster defensive performance.
In the upcoming match against Wolves, the 24-year-old once again made a significant impression with an outstanding performance. He effectively propelled the team forward and created numerous challenges for Gary O’Neil’s side, despite having less possession.
Howe asserts that Willock possesses a distinctive skill to dribble with the ball and score goals, something he believes Newcastle has been missing recently and is delighted to witness the resurgence of.
Regarding Willock, Howe expressed, “He has returned in an impressive manner, I must admit.” I must commend him for his remarkable appearance, as he has faced considerable challenges.
