Elanga stretchered off in Newcastle friendly but club hopeful of only bruised shin

Newcastle winger Anthony Elanga was stretchered off during a pre-season friendly against Valencia at the Mestalla after a challenge from left-back José Gayà. The club is hopeful the injury is not serious; Elanga bruised his shin. For a player whose pace is central to his game, any leg injury brings nerves, but early signs are reassuring.
