Elanga out six to eight. Hull still unbeaten.

Anthony Elanga’s absence is no longer “could be long-term.” Craig Hope (Mail, 16 Sep) has a hamstring diagnosis around six to eight weeks; Sweden FA confirmed he misses the Nations League block. Jaissle already said it doesn’t look good after Elland Road and flagged another MRI.

Saturday’s Newcastle–Hull is not a mid-table filler. Hull are still unbeaten on eight from four. Newcastle are on five after the 4–1 at Leeds — Jaissle’s first league defeat — and now lose their early-season right-side threat into the international break. Ramsey and Gonzalez were already major doubts for Hull. The promoted side nobody priced for August still has the cleaner sheet record and the healthier wing.

See what others miss.
