Miguel Almiron - Page 4 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Impact Almiron is making his way back from a hamstring issue and was reportedly always going to return Saturday.

Should be fit to face Chelsea Almiron (hamstring) is expected to be fit to face Chelsea once the Premier League resumes on Nov. 25, Craig Hope of The Daily Mail reports.

Impact Almiron was not called up by Paraguay for the November round of international fixtures due to the injury, but he has been progressing well enough and is expected to be considered for the Chelsea match once the league resumes. If fit, Almiron should be a starter for a Newcastle side that could use his creativity in the final third. Almiron has two goals in 12 league outings (10 starts) this season.

Hamstring injury confirmed Almiron suffered a Grade 1 hamstring injury in Saturday's match and won't play with Paraguay over the break.

Impact Almiron is yet another injury for Newcastle and fortunately it's not a major one. That said, while it's a minor hamstring injury, he only has two weeks to recover and is far from guaranteed to be available for the Nov. 25 game against Chelsea. The hope for Newcastle is that a couple players return over the break from other injuries, especially if Almiron has to miss a contest or two.

Suffers injury against Bournemouth Almiron appears to have suffered a muscle strain in Saturday's match against Bournemouth after being taken off the pitch in the 31st minute, per Roberto Rojas of ESPN FC.

Impact Almiron looks to be another name added to Newcastle's long injury list, as he was taken off early into the match in the 31st minute after feeling discomfort in his leg. The injury so far has been reported as a strain, which most likely means the attacker will be held out of Paraguay's final two World Cup qualifiers during the international break and instead will spend it with the doctors back in England. The Magpies will hope for his return after the international break, as fellow teammates Alexander Isak, Callum Wilson, Harvey Barnes and Jacob Murphy are all out in the attack.

Quiet outing versus Wolves Almiron had zero shots and zero chances created, suffered two fouls and made two tackles (both won) during Saturday's 2-2 draw against Wolverhampton.

Impact Almiron had another subpar performance for Newcastle, this time even failing to attempt a shot, which ultimately led him to be subbed off midway through the second half. Over his last four appearances (three starts) in all competitions, the attacker had just three shots, two chances created and three crosses.

Scores again Almiron scored with his only shot in Saturday's 2-0 win against Burnley.

Six shots in loss Almiron had six shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Liverpool.

Impact Almiron shot nearly every time he had a sight of goal but only put one on target as he looks for his first goal in 2023-24.

Almiron has yet to find a goal contribution, and has only managed to put two shots on goal in three matches.

Takes two shots versus Man City Almiron had two off-target shots and created two chances during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Manchester City.

Impact Almiron had a decent performance for Newcastle, being one of their few bright spots on the attacking end but still far from the threat he was most of the time last season as the opposition completely dominated the outing and made things very difficult for him. The winger is still to appear on the scoresheet this season and any such contribution against Liverpool on Aug. 27 will certainly be very appreciated.

Impact Even if available Saturday, it'd be surprising if Almiron played, as he's returning two weeks before his original timeline. It's usually not the best when a player returns too quick from muscle injuries and while he's been on the pitch, it's hard to see him starting a match in the next week.

Making progress in recovery Almiron (thigh) is making progress and roughly about four weeks from a return, according to manager Eddie Howe. "He's making really good progress, he's pain-free, so I don't think...

Impact Almiron seems likely to miss all of April unless he returns quicker than expected. He's apparently pain free at the moment, which means he should be able to train lightly. Jacob Murphy started in his place just before the break, though with Joelinton back in the squad, Howe could use a variety of options on the right wing in Almiron's place.
