Sasa Lukic - Forced off as precaution Lukic (groin) was forced off as a precaution at halftime during Wednesday's 2-1 defeat against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup due to feeling his groin, coach Marco Silva said in a pr...

Impact Lukic couldn't carry on for the second half of Wednesday's clash against the Magpies in the Carabao Cup since he felt something in his groin and was forced off as a precaution. This issue shouldn't make him a big doubt for Monday's clash against Nottingham Forest since he has some time to recover before the game, but his situation has to be monitored since he remains a regular starter for Fulham, although he lost his starting spot in the last weeks.

Lewis Hall - Likely against Chelsea Hall (hamstring) has a chance to play in Saturday's clash against Chelsea, coach Eddie Howe said in a press conference, according to Jordan Cronin from NewcastleWorld. "Lewis, we'r...

Impact Hall missed Wednesday's win against Fulham in the Carabao Cup due to a hamstring thightness but the medical staff is positive and hopes he will be back available for Saturday's clash against Chelsea. Having Hall fit against the Blues will be a major update for the Magpies given the numerous injuries in the backline and the new setback from Valentino Livramento (knee). That said, if Hall had to miss the game, that would force coach Eddie Howe to either change the system or field a very makeshift defense.

Tino Livramento - Suffers knee problem Livramento is already a doubt for Saturday's clash against Chelsea after suffering a knee problem in Wednesday's 2-1 victory against Fulham in the Carabao Cup, coach Eddie Howe sai...

Impact Livramento will need to be assessed in the coming days after suffering a new knee problem in Wednesday's Carabao Cup clash against the Cottagers. The defender has been an undisputed starter when fit, and if he were to miss the game, it would be a major blow for the Magpies, given the numerous injuries in the backline that would force coach Eddie Howe to either change the system or field a very makeshift defense.

Joelinton - Nursing groin problem Joelinton is nursing a groin problem he suffered against Leverkusen one week ago and will be fit only in an emergency situation, coach Eddie Howe said in a press conference, accord...

Impact Joelinton won't be risked in the coming weeks, as he is currently nursing a groin problem suffered against Leverkusen in the Champions League one week ago and will only feature in an emergency situation. Joelinton has been training but can't complete all sessions normally due to the issue. Lewis Miley is expected to see a larger role in the midfield until Joelinton resolves his groin problem.
