Newcastle United manager Matthias Jaissle addressed media ahead of Saturday’s Premier League match against Bournemouth at St. James' Park.

Jaissle also commented on the departure of Nick Woltemade, who joined Juventus, noting the club will monitor the player's progress. New signing Matias Fernandez-Pardo has joined the team, marking the end of a busy transfer period that focused on reducing the average age of the roster.
