Jacob Murphy - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Impact Murphy suffered the injury three weeks ago and still isn't 100 percent, which likely means a gradual return to the pitch in the coming weeks. The schedule eases up a bit for at least the next seven days, which should allow him to return to fitness. Once fully ready, he figures to receive minutes, though similar to before, his starts will be sporadic with the majority of the attack healthy.

Named to bench Murphy (hamstring) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against PSG.

Impact Murphy was training this week, and that has led to the attacker being an option, working into a bench role. With 12 starts in 18 appearances, he will work back into some starting time, although they do experience lots of rotation on the flanks.

Training with group Murphy (hamstring) is training with the group ahead of Wednesday's match against PSG, according to Lee Ryder of the Chronicle.

Impact Murphy was given some rest following a hamstring injury and appears to be recovering, with the attacker already in the group for training. This should leave him as a late call to face the former UCL champions, needing to pass some testing to be an option. He has started in 14 of his 23 appearances this season while scoring two goals and three assists, so his availability would be a help.

Impact Murphy will miss some time as he recovers from a minor hamstring injury that he has been dealing with over the last couple of weeks. While the scans once again did not show anything, making it a strange case, the forward was given a period of rest to fully get rid of the discomfort. Harvey Barnes is expected to take on a larger role in the frontline for the Magpies until Murphy returns to full fitness.

Impact Murphy has been dealing with a hamstring problem for a couple of weeks and had two scans already that have come back clear, making his situation a bit blurry. The winger will be assessed further more to know the extend of that issue, allowing Harvey Barnes to see increased playing time for the Magpies if he had so miss some time on the sidelines.

Subs off early in Cup action Murphy (hamstring) was forced off after 45 minutes of Tuesday's game versus Manchester City.

Impact Murphy has struggled to play consistently throughout the season as he apparently can't fully overcome a hamstring issue. He started on the right wing against City after missing the previous contest, but he was replaced by Harvey Barnes in first-half stoppage time. While the severity of the issue is unclear, it could force Murphy to face an extended absence and become unavailable for EPL play.

Impact Murphy is still dealing with his hamstring issue and missed Saturday's clash against the Cherries as a precaution to avoid any further setbacks. The forward could be in line to return and be available for Tuesday's Carabao Cup first semifinal leg against Manchester City if nothing occurs ahead of the match. Murphy started three of his last five appearances and could resume that role in upcoming fixtures if he is fully fit again.

On bench midweek Murphy (hamstring) is among the substitutes for Wednesday's clash against Leeds United.

Impact Murphy was unable to retain a starting role despite getting a positive scan on his muscle injury. The winger should at least come off the bench in upcoming fixtures, most likely offering an alternative to Harvey Barnes on the right flank. In that case, he'll aim to increase his counts of two goals and three assists in 22 matches played this season.

Impact Murphy was forced off in the last game due to a hamstring issue that revealed to be likely only just fatigue since coach Eddie Howe said the scans were positive and ruling out a major injury. Murphy could be back available for Wednesday's clash against Leeds United and will likely get a late fitness test ahead of the game. That said, if he had to miss the clash, Harvey Barnes is expected to see a greater role in the frontline of the Magpies.

Impact Murphy is dealing with a hamstring injury and is a doubt for Wednesday's clash against Leeds United. The winger will likely be assessed after the final training session and if he had to miss the game, it would be a blow for the Magpies since he started three of the last four games in the Premier League. If Murphy had to miss some time, Harvey Barnes will likely start on the right wing until he returns.
