William Osula targets October return to Newcastle United lineup
Summary

Newcastle United striker William Osula is rehabilitating an injury that has sidelined him since the club's Premier League opener against Liverpool. The 23-year-old Danish forward is no longer using a protective boot and has resumed mobility training away from the first team. While some reports suggest a potential return for the September 19 match against Hull City, the club views the October 12 trip to Coventry City as a more realistic target. This timeline allows the player sufficient time to rebuild match fitness without risking a setback. Head coach Matthias Jaissle anticipates that Osula’s return will provide a significant boost to the team's attacking depth. The club has not yet issued a definitive date for his full competitive availability.
