Anthony Elanga - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Misses out due to injury Elanga won't be available for Friday's game against Manchester United after sustaining an injury in the 2-2 draw against Chelsea on Saturday, Dec. 20.

Impact The extent of the injury hasn't been revealed, but the issue was severe enough to have Elanga sidelined to face his former team on a quick turnaround. Elanga has started in just seven of his 17 Premier League appearances this season, so his absence shouldn't carry a lot of fantasy upside. It remains to be seen if he'll be available to face Burnley on Tuesday, Dec. 30.

Newcastle's plan to replace Alexander Isak's goals after Yoane Wissa injury and slow Nick Woltemade start

Falls to bench Elanga served off the bench in their 0-0 draw against Leeds United on Aug. 30 after starting in their opening two games of the season.

Impact Elanga was held to only two shots, two chances created and 15 crosses through his first two starts of the season, a mediocre stat line for 160 minutes of play. That said, he would be relegated to the bench for their next match, seeing 28 minutes of play against Leeds United, with only two crosses in his time on the field. He will likely look to recapture the spot after a disappointing draw to Leeds, with Jacob Murphy taking his spot during that contest.
