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.
