Uncertain status for EFL Cup on Thursday

Miley (hamstring) is doubtful to play Thursday against Everton in the EFL Cup, according to manager Matthias Jaissle. "There are still two days to decide if [they're able] to be in the squad or not. We don't want to take any additional risk."

Analysis: Miley missed the 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday due to a hamstring problem, and it wouldn't be shocking if he doesn't play Thursday, though a final call will be made later this week. Miley has played both as a central midfielder and right-back this season, and given his versatility and solid performances, the Magpies aren't expected to risk him in a cup game with the Premier League having two more matches before the November international break.

Dealing with hamstring injury

Miley (hamstring) missed Sunday's 2-0 Premier League victory against Crystal Palace after suffering an injury during training, with his availability for Thursday's Carabao Cup clash against Everton uncertain, according to coach Matthias Jaissle, per Lee Ryder of Chronicle Live. "Unfortunately, he was not able to be in the squad at Palace due to an issue with his glutes. But hopefully, we will bring him back as soon as possible."

Analysis: Miley has suffered another frustrating fitness setback after recently recovering from a knock sustained while representing England's U21 side earlier in October. The versatile midfielder subsequently returned to action against Coventry City and Aston Villa but picked up a fresh hamstring injury during training last week, forcing him to miss Sunday's victory against Crystal Palace. Newcastle are hopeful that the issue is not serious, although no definitive recovery timeline has been established. Miley has already endured a disrupted preparation for the campaign after a broken leg forced him to miss part of preseason, and manager Jaissle recently acknowledged that the youngster was still working toward full fitness. The 20-year-old has featured in both midfield and at right-back this season, providing valuable versatility despite his physical setbacks. Amar Dedic could continue benefiting from additional opportunities on the right side of defense if Miley remains unavailable, while his participation in Thursday's cup encounter against Everton will depend on his progress over the coming days.
