Burn (ankle) is unlikely to start Saturday's Premier League clash against Aston Villa but could feature off the bench, according to coach Matthias Jaissle. "We need to manage it really carefully. We missed them so much. Joe has had more training compared to Dan and the next steps for both of them is to give them more game time. For Dan it will most likely be too soon to get that starting position already as he's just trained a couple of times but for Joelinton it could be a bit different."
Analysis:Burn recently returned to Newcastle's matchday squad against Coventry City on Monday after recovering from an ankle injury. The defender has completed only a few training sessions since his return, leaving him short of the fitness required to start against Aston Villa. Another appearance off the bench could help him gradually rebuild his match sharpness, although he will face competition from Sven Botman for a starting role once fully fit.
