Jaissle eyes Carabao Cup start as Newcastle assess options for West Brom visit | OneFootball

Newcastle United host James Morrison’s Albion at St James’ Park in the Carabao Cup second round on Wednesday. According to ExpressAndStar.com, Matthias Jaissle is set to assess his squad following Sunday’s season-opening draw with Liverpool.

Jaissle, who succeeded Eddie Howe this summer, said the owners showed him footage of the city’s 2025 celebrations during talks over his appointment. “They tried to convince me with that footage. It was not needed, it was not needed.”

Under Howe, Newcastle ended a 70-year wait for domestic silverware 18 months ago, and a parade on two open-top buses drew hundreds of thousands into the city centre.

Youngsters Mason Miley and Sean Neave are pushing for inclusion. Summer recruits Ewen Jaouen and Bazoumana Toure could make competitive debuts.

“The Carabao Cup is a big competition, it is important to the club and we are looking forward to playing that round,” he said. “It’s important now that we get things sorted, we analyse the game, we see the availability of the players. There were many players who were exhausted, some of them have minor injuries, so we need to see who is available.”
