Doubt to face Brighton Murphy (groin) is considered a doubt for Thursday's match against Brighton, according to manager Eddie Howe.

Impact Murphy's groin continues to bother him and this update doesn't put him on the right side of the injury after sitting on the bench in Saturday's draw against Leeds. It's unlikely he'll start Thursday or even be available, which likely means another start for Miguel Almiron, who is looking to return to his form found earlier in the season.

Left on bench with groin issue Murphy was dealing with groin soreness during Saturday's draw with Leeds United, according to Newcastle manager Eddie Howe. He was an unused substitute in the match.

Impact Murphy had started nine of Newcastle's last 10 Premier League games prior to this weekend on the right wing while Miguel Almiron was out with a thigh injury, but Murphy was the one to sit against Leeds on Saturday with an injury of his own. His status will be one to monitor heading into the midweek clash with Brighton, though even if fit he might still return to a substitute role with Almiron back in the XI.

Nets another goal Murphy scored one goal to go with two shots (one on target), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Thursday's 4-1 win against Everton.

Impact Murphy scored his third goal in two matches to put him at four for the season. He only had one league goal in his previous 30 games. With Miguel Almiron back, the forward will return to the bench, making just 12 starts in 32 appearances this campaign.

Scores quick brace versus Spurs Murphy scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 6-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Murphy scored two quick goals Sunday, as he found the net twice before 10 minutes were played. He had just one goal coming into Sunday's match, so the brace came as a massive surprise. He took three shots (two on target), created one chance, whipped in three crosses (one accurate) and took one corner in his 66 minutes of action.

Records assist in win Murphy assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 5-1 victory over West Ham United.

Impact Murphy recorded his second assist of the season Wednesday, as his pass found Callum Wilson in the box just after halftime to give his side the 3-1 lead. It was the only chance he created in the match, but he added two shots (one on target), two crosses (one accurate), one tackle (won) and one interception in his 64 minutes of action.

Yet to score in new year Murphy had one shot (zero on target), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Manchester United.

Impact Murphy is the starting right winger while Miguel Almiron (thigh) is out on injury. In three starts, he has yet to score on five shots (one no target). He will likely return back to the bench once Almiron is back.

Creates five chances in win Murphy took two shots and created five chances in Friday's 2-1 victory against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Murphy has started just seven games this season, but two of them have come this week as he's had to take over from the injured Miguel Almiron (undisclosed) on the right wing. Murphy's tallied four shots (one on target) and five chances created across those two starts.

Provides assist versus Southampton Murphy made an assist and sent in two crosses (one accurate) during Sunday's 4-1 win over Southampton.

Impact Murphy was back in the starting XI after coming off the bench on the previous two contests and made most of the opportunity, assisting Chris Wood for his side's second goal in the 58th minute. The winger couldn't do much more than that from a fantasy perspective and ended up being subbed off after a little more than an hour of playing time. Murphy could very well receive another start for Saturday's clash against Chelsea but he'll probably head to the bench once Allan Saint-Maximin is fully fit.

Scores first goal of season Murphy scored one goal to go with two shots (two on target), four crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 5-1 win versus Brentford.

Impact Murphy was in the starting XI for just the second time in nine matches thus far this season, and he certainly maximized his 66 minutes on the pitch. He evaded his marker and beat the keeper in the 28th minute to give his side a crucial 2-0 advantage - one they ultimately would not relinquish. Callum Wilson was credited with the assist on the tally. Joelinton relieved Murphy in the 67th.

Records assist against Norwich Murphy took two shots and assisted a goal in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Norwich City. He also made a clearance, two interceptions and won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact Murphy set up Joelinton's second goal of Saturday's game and was a fairly consistent passing threat (three chances created) for a player who just grabbed his second assist of the season. This was his first Premier League start in six games since mid-March and he will likely return to the bench for next weekend's clash against Liverpool.

Impact Murphy was stellar in the win Saturday. Not only did he start as a right-wing again, but he managed to take his fair share of shots himself and if not for hitting the post once and putting a few other shots into the keeper's chest, he would have had a rather quick hat trick. Murphy is enjoying life playing in a more advanced role and he thrived pinching in from the flank. Over his last five appearances -- three starts --, he is averaging, 1.4 shots, 0.8 created chances, 1.6 crosses, 0.6 tackles, 0.6 interceptions and 0.4 clearances per 90 minutes in all competitions.

Wins three tackles in loss Murphy took a shot and won three of four tackles in Thursday's 3-1 defeat against Liverpool. He also made two clearances and two interceptions in the match.

Impact Murphy was pushed up on the right wing once again versus Liverpool, but he ended up mostly having to defend anyways. It will likely be more of the same story Sunday against Manchester City, which are the Premier League leaders in the table and trail only Liverpool in goals scored.

Assists against Southampton Murphy assisted to go with two shots (one on target), five inaccurate crosses and six tackles (two won) in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Southampton.

Impact Murphy had a nice cross on the goal to Callum Wilson, something he's done a couple times every match this season. While the matchups have been favorable, Murphy has had a nice start with five shots, 11 crosses and 11 tackles in three games.

Impact Murphy found the back of the net in the 40th minute scoring Newcastle's second and final goal. The right back finished with the second highest amount of crosses and chances created on the team while leading the Magpies in interceptions and tackles in the defeat.

Has decent season Murphy scored two goals and provided three assists in 26 appearances (17 starts) during the 2020/21 season.

Impact Murphy returned to Newcastle after a nine-goal season in the Championship for Sheffield Wednesday but it was unlikely he'd have the same level of production in one of the worst offensive teams in the EPL. He still performed better than his last full season in the Premier League in 2017/18, so Murphy is on the right track to making at least 30 league appearances in a season and becoming a useful utility player in fantasy for his role as a right-wing-back or right-midfielder.

Impact Murphy was average at best in the win. The midfielder settled into the right-flank and he was tasked to float between the attack and defense. However, he only showcased his offensive talent and it was not much to account for. Although, he did have a rather good cross that led to the game-winning goal. If he can return back to his more versatile play, he is an option worth consideration.
