# Newcastle United: Callum Wilson, Jonjo Shelvey and Paul Dummett out

**Steve Bruce has now dealt a triple injury blow to Newcastle United ahead of their game at home to Leeds United in the Premier League on Friday night.**

### The Lowdown: Pressure mounts

There is now significant pressure on Bruce to get a result against Marcelo Bielsa’s team at St. James’ Park.

The North East club currently sit in 19th place in the Premier League table on just one point, with the Whites sat just above them in 17th ([Premier League](https://www.premierleague.com/tables)).

### The Latest: Team news

Speaking in his pre-game press conference ahead of the match against the Whites, Bruce has now revealed that it will come [‘too soon’](https://twitter.com/NUFC/status/1438434986248507394) for Callum Wilson, Jonjo Shelvey and Paul Dummett.

It means that he will now have to try and find a way to get a result without three of his first-team players.

### The Verdict: Body blow

It certainly is a blow for the Tyneside outfit to be without all three players against the Elland Road faithful, especially the firing power that Wilson possesses.

The striker has already managed to score two goals in three matches in total so far this term ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.com/callum-wilson/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/123682/plus/0?saison=2021&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)), and could well have made the difference at the top end of the pitch, with Leeds missing [three centre-backs](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/leeds-united-bielsa-every-word-21586146) through injury or suspension.

Nonetheless, other players in the squad will have to step up now in what looks to be a vital fixture already in the race to avoid being relegated down to the EFL Championship.
