Joe Willock’s dream of Wembley is still alive - after positive news emerged from a scan on his hamstring this week. Willock limped off with a muscular injury in the 1-1 draw with AFC Bournemouth last weekend and will miss the clash with Liverpool at St James’ Park on Saturday night.
His absence against the Reds should give him the opportunity to rest up this weekend and leave the door open to play in the Carabao Cup final.
Howe said today: “I think he will be doubtful tomorrow. I don’t think it’s a big injury at all, it’s very minor, he complained about his hamstring. Definitely there is a chance of playing (at Wembley).”
