Elliot Anderson - Page 5 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Improves in second season Anderson recorded two assists and kept two clean sheets in 21 appearances (10 starts) this past season.

Impact Anderson saw significantly more playing time in the 2023-24 campaign compared to the previous season and made a solid impact. He started 10 matches, primarily in central midfield, and it would have been much more had he not missed 17 matches with a back injury. It is unclear where the 21-year-old fits in moving forward with Bruno Guimaraes and Sean Longstaff coming off great seasons, in addition to Sandro Tonali returning next season following a 10-month ban.

Impact Anderson's update is not that different from one Howe gave nearly three weeks ago, so fantasy players may want to take this with a grain of salt. Still, the midfielder featured in four of his seven outings for the club prior to getting hurt in mid-October. Given the lengthy stint on the shelf, Anderson will likely need to get some minutes off the bench before being truly in contention for the starting XI.

Impact Anderson's injury seems to get worse with every piece of new information that comes out about it. An injury that originally was expected to last a week or two is now set to keep Anderson on the sideline for two months. This is an awful bit of luck especially with Sandro Tonali suspended 10 months. Joelinton should be in line for more starts with Anderson sidelined.

With the quick turnaround, Anderson should probably be considered a doubt heading into Saturday's matchup with Wolverhampton.

Impact Anderson has missed a couple matches this season due to a minor issue, as it seems like the team is really proactive with any injury, partly because he's mostly a bench option. His lone start came in the league cup, but when on the pitch, it's clear he has some kind of future role in the Premier League. The question is where and when that happens.

Signs long-term Newcastle deal Anderson has signed a long-term contract with Newcastle.

Impact Anderson has received tons of hype in the early season and he's looked well when on the pitch, including a Cup start a few weeks ago. While he's logged just 32 league minutes this season, that number figures to go up with the schedule about to get busier. The problem is that when everyone else is healthy, there's not a ton of room in the midfield unless Eddie Howe decides to completely rotate.
