Lewis Miley - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Impact Miley is not going to make Wednesday's UCL contest despite some reports of him traveling for the contest, as he was in training this morning but is still in too much pain to play. That said, it appears the midfielder is taking his return cautiously, not pushing for a return immediately. He will now have around a further three weeks to recover due to the break, likely to come through fit on the other side.

Impact Miley has been sidelined since late January with a lingering dead leg that proved tougher to shake than expected, but the midfielder is now closing in on a return and could be back in the mix for Wednesday's Champions League second leg against Barcelona, as he's set to travel with the squad to Spain and will likely be a late fitness call. Before the injury, he was a regular presence either in the back line or midfield for the Magpies, showing his versatility across multiple roles. That said, after such a lengthy layoff, he'll likely be eased back in with minutes off the bench before pushing to regain a spot in the starting XI.

Impact Miley has yet to return to team training but he is back working on the grass and progressing well, keeping him in the frame for Wednesday's Champions League second leg against Barcelona. His potential return would be a big lift for the Magpies, as he has been a regular presence in the starting XI this season. The midfielder also brings valuable versatility, offering Newcastle another reliable option across both the midfield and defensive line for the final stretch of the campaign.

Eyeing return soon Miley (leg) is eyeing a return to play soon, according to Daniel Wales of North East Football. "Hopefully, it will be very soon that I'm back on the pitch."

Impact Miley looks to be ramping up his fitness as he gave an interview the other night, with the midfielder eyeing a return to play soon. That said, it will depend on when we start to see him on the training pitch again, as that will bring more confidence that he is nearing full fitness. He has served as a decent rotational pick between the midfield and right-back, so the club will be looking for his return soon to keep fresh legs in the building.

Still weeks away from return Miley (leg) is still weeks away from making his return since the staff want to be cautious as a mistreatment could rule him out for the season, coach Eddie Howe said in the press c...

Impact Miley is still dealing with a lingering dead leg and will be sidelined for several weeks, as the medical staff is managing his recovery cautiously after he required injections, knowing any setback could shut him down for the season. It is a tough break for the Magpies, given he had locked down a regular starting role before the injury and was a steady presence in the lineup. His absence now forces a reshuffle in the starting XI, opening the door for Jacob Ramsey, Joe Willock or Nick Woltemade to log increased minutes in central midfield.

Set to miss few more weeks Miley (leg) is set to miss one to two more weeks maximum due to his dead leg issue, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference, according to Keith Downie from Sky Sports.

Impact Miley is still battling a dead leg and won't be in the mix for at least another one to two weeks. That's a tough hit for the Magpies, as he has been a steady presence in midfield lately and his absence forces a shake-up in the starting XI. In the meantime, Jacob Ramsey and Joe Willock are expected to battle it out for that spot until Miley is cleared to return.

Making progress, still out Miley (leg) is out for Wednesday's match against Qarabag, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Lewy's made good progress in the last few days. We're quite happy with with his progress...

Impact Miley is still working on his return and will not be risked in the first leg, instead focusing on recovery from the muscle issue. This will leave him out for a fourth straight match, with it unknown if he can return come the weekend. This will leave Joelinton (groin), Sandro Tonali to start, with Jacob Ramsey and Joe Willock fighting for the last spot in the midfield.

Not available Saturday Miley (leg) is ruled out for Saturday's FA Cup clash against Aston Villa.

Impact Miley remains unavailable for Saturday's FA Cup match against Aston Villa as he continues to deal with a dead leg picked up against PSG. The midfielder is being treated as a day-to-day case, though his absence is not expected to significantly impact the starting XI given his rotational role this season.

Impact Miley remains a doubt as he continues to deal with a dead leg picked up since the clash against PSG in the Champions League. The midfielder has not been officially ruled out for Saturday's FA Cup showdown with Aston Villa and is being treated as a day-to-day situation. Miley has largely filled a rotational role for the Magpies this season, so even if he is unavailable, it would not significantly impact the starting XI.

Not an option Miley (leg) is out for Tuesday's match against Tottenham.

Impact Miley was looking to return Tuesday but appears to have not passed his testing, as the midfielder is still sidelined. This will make it two games missed in a row after consecutive starts in his past two appearances, still more of a rotational pick with 11 starts in 19 appearances this season.

Impact Miley has been managing a nasty bang to his leg since last week and will be a late fitness call for Tuesday's clash against Tottenham. The midfielder is set to be evaluated Monday following the final training session to determine whether he is cleared to face the Spurs. While he has logged regular starts recently due to injuries, this latest setback makes a straight return to the starting lineup unlikely even if he is deemed fit.

Impact Miley has missed the last two games across all competitions due to a minor knee injury and will be a late fitness decision ahead of Saturday's clash against Brentford. The staff is awaiting an update and he is expected to be evaluated after the final training session leading into the matchup. Miley has taken on a larger role in recent months amid injuries across the Magpies' backline and midfield and is still expected to maintain a solid role during the second half of the season, meaning any absence or reduced involvement could open the door for Joe Willock to see an uptick in playing time until he returns.

Not available Wednesday Miley (knee) won't make it for the Carabao Cup second leg against Manchester City on Wednesday and therefore remains a doubt for Saturday's clash against Brentford, coach Eddie How...

Impact Miley was held out of the last match against Liverpool due to a knee injury that has since been confirmed as concerning, as he is not available for Wednesday's Carabao Cup second leg against Manchester City. He is expected to be assessed ahead of Saturday's clash against the Bees as he remains doubtful for now. If he is forced to miss additional time to fully recover, Joe Willock is expected to take on a larger role in the middle of the pitch for the Magpies.

Suffers knee injury Miley was unused off the bench against Liverpool during Saturday's 4-1 loss, according to manager Eddie Howe, per Craig Hope of the Daily Mail.

Impact Miley was not an option to play Saturday, with the midfielder not playing due to a knee injury, an option from the bench, but unused. The good news is this is likely to lead to minimal time out, set to return in their midweek Cup match against Manchester City. He will hope to return in the midfield for a starting role, as Joelinton (groin) remains out and Bruno Guimaraes (ankle) is doubtful.

Provides assist in win Miley assisted once to go with five crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 2-0 victory versus Crystal Palace.

Impact Miley caught the eye while playing at right back, holding his own defensively and staying composed in possession despite difficult conditions. He helped Newcastle manage Palace's wide threats and supported the build-up when the Magpies pushed for a winner. Miley provided the assist for Bruno Guimaraes' opener, contributing to two season highs with five crosses and three tackles during the game. His assist was his third in 16 appearances this season for Newcastle, but he also equaled his career high from 2023, giving him time to surpass that mark in the second half of the season.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in draw Miley scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 2-2 draw versus Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Miley scored a crucial goal to briefly put Newcastle ahead against Leverkusen, finishing a well-placed header from a cross on the left flank by Anthony Gordon. He has struggled to secure consistent starts but has been very efficient when called upon, registering two goals and two assists from midfield in just 685 minutes across the Premier League and Champions League. He already has more goal contributions this season than he managed last year and continues to make a strong case for increased playing time. If he maintains this level of impact off the bench, Miley should be close to earning a regular starting role.

Impact Miley assisted Newcastle's first goal from a corner and scored their second Saturday as they eased past Everton in a 4-1 road victory. In addition to his attacking output, the central midfielder contributed two tackles (two won) and two clearances to the defensive effort across his 90-minute shift. Miley's inclusion in the Newcastle starting XI Saturday was his first since being limited to a single, one-minute substitute appearance across Newcastle's last three league fixtures.
