Not included on UCL squad list Lascelles hasn't been included in the squad list for the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League.

First start since months in friendly Lascelles has made his first start for Newcastle since his ACL injury in a 3-2 defeat against Arsenal in a pre-season friendly, the club announced.

Impact Lascelles suffered an ACL injury in March 2024 which kept him out for the entirety of last term. The defender played with the second team in May but couldn't return to the senior squad before the end of last season. That said, this is in the past since Lascelles was in the starting squad in a pre-season friendly against he Gunners for the first time since his injury. This is good news for the Magpies, since he will be able to build on his match fitness ahead of the 2025/26 season, during which he could play a role since he has been a regular starter in previous seasons when he appeared for Newcastle.

Impact Lascelles is making good progress after returning from his long-term knee injury and being back in training, but the coach doesn't want to risk him and says that if there are no injuries in the final stretch of the season, it would be better for him to return during the pre-season for Newcastle.

Tears ACL Lascelles has been confirmed to have picked up a torn ACL in Saturday's 4-3 win against West Ham United, the club announced Sunday.

Impact Lascelles' season is coming to an early end, as he has torn his ACL and is now set for surgery in the next week before undergoing a six to nine-month recovery period. This is a brutal loss for the club, as he was set to be the new starter in the middle of the defense after Sven Botman went down against Manchester City with an ACL injury as well, now leaving the backline limited with options. With that being said, Dan Burn will most likely move to the center of the defense to replace him, while Lewis Hall replaces Burn at left-back. Lascelles will now hope for a recovery with no setbacks, looking for a return next season, most likely coming anywhere between the end of October and the start of January.

Impact Lascelles missed out in the Cup at the weekend and is now confirmed to be hampered by a calf injury. The short turnaround to Tuesday's clash was always going to make it tough for Lascelles to get back. Sven Botman and Fabian Schar are both fit and should be the preferred pairing in central defense for Tuesday's clash.

Available on bench Lascelles (undisclosed) is on the bench for Monday's trip to Liverpool.

Impact Lascelles is available as an option off the bench Monday after recovering from a minor issue. The defender wasn't quite deemed fit to start, but still is an option if Sven Botman or Fabian Schar need to come off during Monday's clash.

Impact Lascelles will look to put his injury concerns behind him quickly, possibly being an option for their match against Liverpool. He picked up the issue in a contest against Luton Town, having gone down with an undisclosed injury that caused him to miss their last match against Nottingham. There is a chance he makes the starting XI if he is healthy, as he started in 17 straight games before his injury but will most likely end up on the bench after such a quick turnaround. However, if he doesn't play, expect Sven Botman and Fabian Schar to get the start as the pair in the center of defense.

Injury minor Lascelles (leg) came off limping during the second half of Thursday's 3-0 loss to Everton with an apparent injury.

Impact Lascelles started for the fourth match in a row with Sven Botman (knee) still on the sideline. The defender isn't likely to see much play when Botman is back but Lascelles has done passably as a replacement option alongside Fabian Schar.
