Impact Jaouen is facing an extended absence after scans revealed that the hamstring injury sustained during the international break was more serious than initially expected. The goalkeeper is now expected to remain unavailable until December, ruling him out of Monday's clash against Coventry and several more fixtures. With Filip Hornacek firmly established as Newcastle's starting goalkeeper, Jaouen's absence should have little impact on the starting lineup. Nick Pope is expected to continue serving as the backup goalkeeper during his recovery.
