Newcastle United Faces Resilience Test Following Champions League Exit

Despite Key Injuries, Coach Eddie Howe Expresses Confidence in Team's Ability to Bounce Back

Newcastle United, currently in seventh place in the Premier League, faces a 'big test' of resilience following their exit from the Champions League, according to head coach Eddie Howe.
The team is dealing with several key injuries, including to right-back Kieran Trippier, who will serve a one-game suspension, and winger Anthony Gordon, whose availability is uncertain due to a hamstring injury.
Despite recent setbacks, Howe expressed confidence in the team's ability to finish in the top four again, as they did last season, but acknowledged that they would need a strong run of form.
Newcastle's next match is against Fulham, a team that has recorded back-to-back 5-0 victories and won three of its past four games.
Howe emphasized the need for support for the players, reminding fans that the team's fourth-place finish last season was 'miles ahead of schedule.'
