Eddie Howe Addresses Goalkeeping Situation
Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has revealed that the fitness of goalkeeper Martin Dubravka remains uncertain ahead of their upcoming fixture. With the match looming, the club faces a potential emergency should Dubravka be unable to take his place between the sticks.
In light of the situation, Howe has confirmed that German goalkeeper Loris Karius is on standby and will be prepared to step in if Dubravka is ruled out. Karius, who is contracted with Newcastle and competes in the Premier League, is ready to take on the responsibilities as the team’s last line of defence.
Loris Karius, the 29-year-old German shot-stopper, has been gearing up for the possibility of featuring in the next game. His experience and readiness could prove vital for Newcastle in maintaining their defensive solidity in the absence of their first-choice goalkeeper, Martin Dubravka.
