EDDIE HOWE HINTS AT BIG THINGS FROM NICK WOLTEMADE SOON
Newcastle's Nick Woltemade has made a scoring impact, but Eddie Howe says he's far from the finished product. The manager hasn't been able to test him in training against defenders like Botman yet due to a hectic match schedule.

Despite his success at Newcastle United, Nick Woltemade is still far from being a polished product, according to Eddie Howe.
Having seen his summer acquisition score six goals for his new team, the Newcastle United manager has been thrilled with his start to life on Tyneside. Eddie Howe, though, is aware that Nick Woltemade has more in store.
Arriving in late August during the Alexander Isak drama, the 23-year-old is still very early in his Toon career.
Nick Woltemade has had such a hectic start to life at St. James' Park that he has not been able to train as much as Eddie Howe would want.
Nick Woltemade should take on Newcastle United's own defenders, according to Eddie Howe.
Howe has not been able to spend as much time on the training field as he would like because of the Magpies' demanding schedule.
To the manager's dismay, Woltemade has thus far not been put to the test against Newcastle United's own defense.
Howe was asked how Woltemade is handling training against players like Sven Botman and Malick Thiaw in an interview with SuperSport.
He remarked, "Unfortunately, we have not been training that much."
"We have simply played a lot of games." So, whether we play, whether it is on Saturday, Sunday, or midweek.
Therefore, we have not truly witnessed him challenge our center halves. As the fight progresses, I will be interested to see how it turns out.
However, Nick has so far performed admirably while facing the opposing center halves. I am rather happy with what he has produced.
He has given us some significant goals. I am aware that he has more in store for me, and that is an extremely thrilling possibility.
Nick Woltemade has the ability to improve Newcastle United's defense as well. The big guy has proven difficult for center-backs in the Premier League and Champions League to contain, but what about Newcastle United's own defense? Howe is eager to see that, but it may be some time before he has the chance.
The Magpies now have two games per week until late December after making it to the Carabao Cup quarterfinals. Howe will have less time to spend on the training field with his players as a result.
It is unfortunate since Woltemade would have to learn a lot from going up against Newcastle's own center-backs. Playing up against him would only enhance the abilities of Thiaw and Botman, considering how special he is.
His height and physique present the first difficulty. After that, you must deal with his foot skills. Because Woltemade is unlike any forward they have ever faced, Premier League defenders have found it difficult to handle.
Thankfully, Newcastle's center-backs are not required to play Woltemade every week. But they will not improve unless they figure out how to handle a player with his particular set of skills.
BARCELONA COULD DEPLOY STAR IN SURPRISING NEW ROLE
With Pedri injured and Gavi out long-term, Barcelona coach Hansi Flick may deploy defender Eric García in a defensive midfield role. The Spaniard has played in midfield before, offering a creative solution.

After Blaugrana teammate Pedri's injury, Barcelona star Eric García might be moved back into the middle of the park.
Naturally, Spanish international Pedri just received a sentence that will keep him out of action for a while.
Earlier this week, following a series of standard medical examinations, a severe hamstring injury was found.
As a result, Pedri can be on the treatment table for up to two months.
After Gavi's most recent long-term setback, Hansi Flick may already be lacking choices in the midfield and will need to find innovative ways to bolster his engine room in the coming months.
A change of role for Eric García is one such proposal that has been suggested again in recent days.
Eric, a defender, has previously made several appearances on the field in a defensive midfield position.
It is hardly impossible that the former Manchester City player may soon be put to the test further forward after having such a strong start to the season, starting at both right-back and centre-back.
RUBEN AMORIM ANTICIPATES MAN UTD PLAYERS SUBMITTING TRANSFER REQUESTS SOON
Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim anticipates January transfer requests from fringe players like Joshua Zirkzee and Kobbie Mainoo, who risk missing the World Cup due to a lack of playing time at Old Trafford.

Before the World Cup in January, Ruben Amorim stated that he anticipates players who are not playing for Manchester United will request to leave the team.
Joshua Zirkzee and Kobbie Mainoo have both had few chances at Old Trafford this season.
Both players risk missing out on a spot at the World Cup next summer with England and the Netherlands, respectively, if they do not play frequently.
At the end of the summer window, Mainoo asked to leave United, but United refused.
Additionally, Amorim is getting ready for the possibility that both players could want moves in January.
Amorim responded, "A lot of things can happen," in response to a question concerning the January timeframe.
"I have to handle everything because even with our club, you know, we have the World Cup, some players are not playing and will ask to leave."
Since Amorim took over a year ago, United has spent around £250 million ($328 million) on players.
Instead of January, the club typically completes the majority of its transfer activity in the summer.
Amorim stated that United is concentrating on long-term hiring choices, although he did not rule out bolstering the team during the winter transfer window.
He declared, "We want to attract guys, everyone here, we want to bring players to Manchester United that we see having a tremendous future."
"We feel that we need this type of player for the time being in December; therefore, we are not simply purchasing one guy. No, it will be.... We want to purchase players that we know we will not be changing frequently. That is what we have in mind.
"I do not know what will happen, but we naturally consider how we can strengthen the team, and because January is an open window, we can take action."
