Christian Pulisic and Christian Eriksen to miss Newcastle game against Manchester City

On Sunday, Christian Pulisic and Christian Eriksen were both ruled out of the Newcastle United match against Manchester City due to injury.

Pulisic, who plays for Chelsea, sustained an ankle injury during training on Friday and is expected to be sidelined for several weeks. The American forward has been one of the most promising players in the Premier League this season, scoring six goals and providing three assists in just eight appearances for the Blues.

Eriksen, meanwhile, is a key player for Tottenham Hotspur and was also injured in training on Friday. He suffered a thigh strain and will be out of action for at least two months. The Danish midfielder has made over 200 appearances for Spurs since joining from Ajax in 2018.

The absence of these two key players could have a significant impact on Newcastle's chances of winning the match against City. Both Pulisic and Eriksen are talented and experienced players who can make a big difference to their teams.

However, there may be other opportunities for Newcastle to score against City, as they have already shown that they are capable of creating chances. They have scored five goals in their last four matches, with a further four coming from set-pieces.

Overall, it will be interesting to see how Newcastle respond to the injuries of Pulisic and Eriksen and what kind of performance they can deliver without them. It will certainly be a tough test for the Magpies, but they will need to play their best football if they want to avoid falling behind early in the match.
