Matthias Jaissle Furious - Anthony Elanga Stretchered Off as Newcastle Provide Update

Newcastle said Elanga was taken to the dressing room and later walked after treatment, easing fears of a serious injury.

  • On Saturday, Newcastle United winger Anthony Elanga was stretchered off after a harsh challenge from Valencia defender Jose Gaya, who received a straight red card for the two-footed tackle.
  • Newly-Appointed Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle admitted he felt "fear" watching the winger leave the field, labelling the tackle "shocking" despite believing the 24-year-old escaped serious injury.
  • Despite initial concerns, the Sweden international was observed walking in the dressing room after treatment, with medical staff showing "almost green lights" regarding his recovery.
  • Newcastle secured a 2-1 pre-season victory at the Estadio Mestalla, overcoming an early deficit as Jaissle now turns attention to the Premier League opener against Liverpool in two weeks.
  • The team travels to Murrayfield to face Everton on Wednesday, while 18-year-old Sean Steur impressed off the bench and former captain Bruno Guimaraes completed his move to Arsenal.
