Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has confirmed that midfielder Miguel Almirón has been suffering from an illness, clarifying the player’s recent absence from the team. Howe expressed his desire for the Paraguayan international to remain with the club, amidst ongoing transfer rumours.
Almirón, who plays in the Premier League for Newcastle and hails from Paraguay, has been the subject of speculation regarding a potential move away from the club. Addressing the situation, Howe stated, “Miguel to leave next week? It’s difficult. I’m not in hourly contact with what’s going on, there’s a possibility someone could leave”.
The manager emphasized that the situation remains unchanged, indicating that while there is a possibility of player departures, nothing is certain at this point. Howe’s comments suggest that while he is not constantly updated on transfer dealings, he is aware of the dynamics of the transfer window and the potential for changes within the squad.
Howe’s remarks underline his hope that Almirón will continue to be part of Newcastle’s future plans, despite the uncertainty that typically accompanies the transfer period.
