Dubravka out for a month as Newcastle dealt huge blow before season has even started

Posted by

The 2021/22 Premier League season is about a month away, and Newcastle have already been dealt a devastating blow with the news that goalkeeper, Martin Dubravka, will miss the start of the campaign.

The Daily Mail report that the custodian has a broken metatarsal, and that’s also impacted Freddy Woodman, whose move to Bournemouth has now been put on hold, despite the player having passed his medical with the south coast outfit.

It’s hardly ideal preparation, but the Magpies have long since been an organisation that appear to be run properly.
