Newcastle urged to start William Osula after injury crisis update - fans react

Newcastle United fans have urged Eddie Howe to start William Osula against Wimbledon due to the injury crisis the squad is suffering.

Alexander Isak missed out on Newcastle’s 1-1 draw against Man City last weekend due to a fractured toe, and will keep him out of action for Tuesday’s (1 October) EFL Cup fixture.

Howe confirmed during his press conference that Isak is likely to be unavailable until after the upcoming international break.

Callum Wilson has yet to feature this season due to a back injury, which has stretched Howe’s attacking options recently.

Anthony Gordon led the line against Man City, and he rewarded Howe for that decision by scoring the equaliser from the penalty spot.

However, the Toon Army are now pushing Howe to give Osula a chance to start from the first whistle in midweek.

The 21-year-old moved to St. James’ Park for £15million during the summer transfer window from Sheffield United.

Newcastle United fans want William Osula to play in midweek

The Denmark Under-21 international has had limited time since moving to Tyneside, having played just seven minutes in the Premier League this season.

However, the Magpies fans believe that now is the time to give him a chance to showcase what he’s capable of due to the injuries to more experienced strikers.

Osulo should get his chance to start. Barnes and Gordon 45 mins each at most if needed. Same for Bruno. Wouldn’5 go to light and risk it turning into a game tho. Would imagine TL and LK start aswell.— SeasonTicketforSewell (@STforSewell) September 30, 2024

Just let Osula start this match, if Howe not even have any confidence to let him start against League 2 team at Carabao Cup game, what's the point for signing him— conan_kun (@conanedogawa316) September 30, 2024

Literally no point in signing him if he can't start at home vs Wimbledon; especially when we don't have any fit strikers available.— Nathan Nicholson (@JnathanN) September 30, 2024

No decision required really, this is a perfect game to start him and see what he’s got ????????— AWWilde (@AWWilde1) September 30, 2024

I think Osula needs the game, for sure. Given other injures. Get the lad a tap in for the confidence..— NUFCThreatLevel (@NUFCThreatLevel) September 30, 2024

Honestly, Osula has to play 90 minutes. Can't risk any more injuries. Saying that again after the window we had is making me feel sick.— ???????? NUFC ???????? (@ToonArmy_18_92) September 30, 2024

I would rest AG for this. Have him on the bench in case we need him. Give Osula a start. Sanusi on the left, Miggy on the right with Longstaff, Tonali and Willock in midfield. Tino, Murphy, Burn and Kelly, Dubravka in goal.— masermag???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? (@masermag) September 30, 2024

start him tomorrow, we’ll never get a cup game at home against a lower league opposition again???? https://t.co/5E8e8CxB2K— kojoelinton???? (@koj__o) September 30, 2024

Play Osula in cup game surely. Looked ok in the home friendly preseason— Kevin Morgan (@KevinMo61038863) September 30, 2024

Back the kid to do the job he was signed to do..— A N T H (@GeordieDownUndr) September 30, 2024
