Expected to miss preseason Krafth (knee) is not expected to be available during the club's preseason training. Manager Eddie Howe told reporters, "Emil's a little bit further back, so (he's) doing well, maki...

Impact At this point, even if Krafth is available for the season opener against Aston Villa on Aug. 12, it seems unlikely he would be ready in time to feature in the starting XI. Still, once back up to full match fitness, the defender should be in contention after starting 18 of his 20 matches for Newcastle during the 2021-22 campaign, though he certainly isn't a lock.

Hopeful to train by end of season Krafth (ACL) is hopeful to train before the end of the season, according to manager Eddie Howe. "He's doing well. He's confident about his recovery. I'm not sure we'll see him in t...

Impact Krafth's recovery will line up almost exactly with the end of the season, meaning he'll get all summer to recover and get back his fitness. While he has one more season on his contract, his future at the club is a bit unknown, as Newcastle are expected to add more bodies in the transfer window. Even then, he's a backup player in the current squad.

Impact Krafth suffered a huge loss in August after tearing his ACL. He looks to be on the right path, however there is a slim chance he can return to the team before the end of the season. The defender only featured in one minute this campaign, after coming off 18 starts in 20 appearances in 2021-22.

Pictured in gym Krafth (torn ACL) was pictured working on his fitness in the gym during Tuesday's session.

Impact Krafth is still likely to be out until February of 2023 at the earliest but it's good that he's able to begin building up his strength again. With the World Cup offering a long break in the final weeks of 2022, Krafth won't be the only player to make strides in his recovery in the coming weeks.

Dealing with minor issue Krafth is dealing with a minor muscle issue ahead of Saturday's trip to Brighton, according to manager Eddie Howe. "I don't think there's an injury but maybe a problem that's stopp...

Impact Krafth missed the opener and appears to be in doubt for the second match of the season Saturday. He started 18 matches last season, but he remains a backup, mainly to Kieran Trippier, who for the moment is healthy and going to start every match for Newcastle.

Extends contract with Newcastle Krafth has signed a one-year contract extension with Newcastle United that takes his deal through the 2023/24 campaign, the club announced Monday.

Plays 15 minutes against Spain Krafth played 15 minutes off the bench for the injured Mikael Lustig in Monday's draw against Spain.

Impact Krafth came in at left-back and could be given the start Friday against Slovakia if Lustig isn't recovered. Krafth spent a lot of this past season playing in a back three for Newcastle, but he can be viable in the right matchup on the flank.

Leaves with injury in 2-0 win Krafth sent one cross (none won) and committed one foul before being replaced by Fabian Schar in the 73rd minute of the 2-0 win over Fulham on Sunday.

Impact Krafth did not make much of an impact due to the lack of attacks from Fulham. The center back typically produces defensive stats in bunches, but he never go the chance. Krafth was substituted in the 73rd minute of the match due to a knee injury. The extent is unknown, but it seems as of right now he should be expected for the Euros next month.

Doubt against Liverpool Krafth "took a nasty whack to the ankle" and is a doubt for Sunday's match against Liverpool, according to manager Steve Bruce.

Impact Krafth went a full 90 last match, so his possible absence in the finale could lead to a start for youngster Kelland Watts. No matter the case, it's not a great situation for Newcastle on Sunday, especially with Liverpool coming off a five-goal effort.
