Newcastle's Howe assesses player doubts ahead of Arsenal semi-final

Newcastle United is gearing up for a crucial Carabao Cup semi-final clash against Arsenal, holding a 2-0 advantage from the first leg. Manager Eddie Howe is focused on ensuring his team does not become complacent after recent disappointing performances, including a 2-1 loss to Fulham. Key player Joelinton is a doubt due to a knee injury, but there are positive signs regarding the return of Callum Wilson, who has been sidelined since December. Howe emphasized the need for his side to 'attack the game' and maintain their form to avoid repeating past mistakes. Despite the recent setbacks, Howe believes the upcoming match presents a different challenge and is confident in his team's ability to perform under pressure. The Magpies aim to reach their second domestic Cup final in three years, which would mark their first major trophy since 1955.
