Elanga (hamstring) is hopeful to take advantage of the extended international break to move closer to a full recovery, but his status remains uncertain ahead of upcoming league fixtures, per Dominic Scurr of Newcastle World.
Analysis:Elanga initially received good news as his muscular injury was not considered a severe issue, and he's still working towards rejoining full training sessions, having missed two league games so far. The attacker will try to reach an optimal fitness level after the break, though the Oct. 12 visit to Coventry might come too soon for him to see action. Meanwhile, Jacob Murphy could continue to fill in on the right wing.
