Tino Livramento - Rejoins full training Livramento is back training alongside the rest of his teammates as of Wednesday, a positive sign with the Premier League season opener against Liverpool approaching, according to K...

Impact Livramento's return to full training is a significant step forward as he works his way back from the calf injury he suffered at the World Cup with England. He's an undisputed starter at right back when fit, having made 17 Premier League appearances last season, including 14 starts, though he now faces fresh competition for the role following Newcastle's recent signing of Amar Dedic. Livramento is expected to continue building up his sharpness as the club finalizes its plans ahead of the opener. His timely return gives Newcastle United a fuller set of options at right back heading into the new campaign.

Amar Dedic - Signs with Newcastle through 2031 Dedic has signed a five-year deal with Newcastle United, becoming the club's sixth senior addition of the summer, the club announced.

Impact Dedic previously worked under Newcastle coach Matthias Jaissle in Austria at FC Liefering and Red Bull Salzburg, going on to make 95 appearances in all competitions for Salzburg before a loan spell at Marseille and a permanent move to Benfica last summer. The 23-year-old has 31 caps for Bosnia, including three at this summer's World Cup, and brings a dynamic profile as a full back who is comfortable carrying the ball under pressure thanks to his mobility, though his lack of height and strength could be tested against Premier League physicality. Dedic is expected to add competition for Valentino Livramento and Lewis Hall at full back. His versatility on both flanks gives Newcastle United a rotation option capable of contributing at both ends of the pitch.

Premier League is back and uncertainty pervades start of post-Guardiola era

Anthony Elanga - Assists in 90-minute outing Elanga provided an assist during Saturday's offseason clash with Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Elanga has completed his rehabilitation from a leg injury and is ready to contend for starts on the right wing in the upcoming Premier League campaign. After recording four World Cup appearances (two starts) and scoring twice for Sweden this summer, he'll aim to remain an interesting offensive contributor for his club. If given significant opportunities, it shouldn't be hard for him to improve on his 2025/26 production of zero goals and one assist across 32 league games (14 starts). Both Elanga and Jacob Murphy should be the main contenders for minutes on the right flank going forward.

Lewis Miley - May not start opener Miley is not expected to start the season opener against Liverpool on Sunday as he still recovers from a broken leg, according to Craig Hope of the Daily Mail.

Impact Miley was back on the field for a friendly this weekend, starting and playing 45 minutes against Leverkusen on Saturday. However, after being sat out for another friendly Sunday and the short time on the field Saturday, it appears the club is taking his return to play quite cautiously. That said, it appears his chances of starting the opener are now in jeopardy, wanting to take a bit longer before a full return. Either way, he should still be a part of the opening day squad, although it should be known to managers that his chances of starting seem to be dipping.

Fabian Schar - Starts vs. Strasbourg Schar starts in Sunday's friendly against Strasbourg, forming an experienced center back pairing alongside Dan Burn, who captains the side, the club announced.

Impact Schar had been working his way back from a groin injury this offseason, with manager Matthias Jaissle indicating earlier in the week that a return to team training and possibly friendly minutes were within reach. His inclusion in the starting lineup confirms his recovery has progressed on schedule, adding a veteran piece back to Newcastle's defense. Schar is expected to build up his match fitness ahead of the start of the season.

Joelinton - Set for spell on sidelines Joelinton is set for a spell on the sidelines after suffering an unspecified injury that will keep him out for at least a couple of weeks, Craig Hope of Daily Mail reports.

Impact Joelinton is set for a spell on the sidelines after suffering an injury that head coach Matthias Jaissle declined to specify beyond ruling him out for at least a couple of weeks. Losing him is a significant setback given Bruno Guimaraes has already left the club this summer, leaving Newcastle short of established options in central midfield. The timing is softened somewhat by Lewis Miley's return to action, and in the meantime, Sean Steur and Jacob Ramsey are the players best placed to pick up extra minutes through the middle while Joelinton recovers.

Lewis Miley - Fit to play against Leverkusen Miley (lower leg) is fit to play in Saturday's friendly against Leverkusen, the club posted.

Impact Miley had been nearing a return to team training, with manager Matthias Jaissle recently saying he hoped the midfielder would be integrated into sessions in the recent days and could get some minutes soon after. His availability for this friendly confirms that timeline has held up, positioning him to build match fitness ahead of the Premier League season opener against Liverpool on August 23 after starting 15 of his 23 appearances last season.

Tino Livramento - Back on the pitch Livramento (calf) is back on the pitch as his recovery from the calf injury he suffered at the World Cup with England continues, the club announced.

Impact Livramento had been trailing behind his injured teammates in his recovery timeline, making this return to the pitch a positive step forward. He's an undisputed starter at right back when fit, having made 17 Premier League appearances last season, including 14 starts, though a difficult, injury hit campaign overall has the staff taking a cautious approach with his buildup. Livramento is expected to continue building toward full training as his recovery progresses.

Lewis Miley - Nearing a return to friendlies Miley (lower leg) is nearing a return to team training and friendlies, according to manager Matthias Jaissle, per Sean McCormick of The Chronicle. "A bit the same as with Fabian, w...

Impact Miley is working his way back from an injury and is the closest he has been yet to full health, as he is expected to join team training in the next few days. This is a major move for the club, as it could mean he returns to friendly action this weekend, potentially clearing him for week one of the season. He started in 15 of his 23 appearances last season and will look to make it out of the rotational role he is in, having a much better chance to do that if fit for the start of the season.

Fabian Schar - Hopeful for return soon Schar (groin) is set to return to team training this week and possibly feature in a friendly over the weekend, according to manager Matthias Jaissle, per Sean McCormick of The Chro...

Impact Schar has been working his back from a groin injury this offseason and is closing in on a full return, as team training could be in the picture this week. That would then lead to a return to friendly action over the weekend, although that will depend on his training. Either way, it seems they are more confident he will be fit for the start of the season, adding a veteran piece back to their defense.

Lewis Hall - Starts Wednesday's friendly Hall is in the starting XI for Wednesday's preseason friendly against Everton.

Impact Hall missed Saturday's friendly against Valencia as a precautionary measure rather than due to any serious issue, and the expectation heading into the week was that he would be ready for Wednesday's match against Everton. Being confirmed in the starting XI today is the clearest confirmation yet that the knock has fully cleared, and it leaves him on track to be available from the start of the new campaign and the rest of preseason games.

Anthony Elanga - Doing fine, spotted in training Elanga (leg) was spotted in training Tuesday.

Impact Elanga suffered a shin injury in a friendly against Valencia earlier this month, but the winger was spotted in training Tuesday and didn't appear to suffer any ill effects from the injury. The Swedish winger should be ready to go for the season opener against Liverpool on Sunday, Aug. 23, and he figures to have a prominent role for a much-changed Newcastle side this season.

AUGUST 11 • ROTOWIRE

Dan Burn - Back for preseason Burn has returned to Newcastle's training center following his World Cup campaign with England, the club posted.

Impact Burn returned from a World Cup campaign with England in which he had a limited role, appearing only as a late substitute in games to protect a lead, but proving crucial in those moments. He is now back with Newcastle, where he made 25 starts last season at either left back or center back, and he could be important for the opening weeks of the campaign given the current fitness problems for Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall, though he will likely settle into a second choice role once the backline is fully fit. Across the 29 appearances he made in the league last season, Burn recorded 40 tackles, 21 interceptions, 152 clearances and 12 blocks, while also contributing offensively with one goal and two assists.

Yoane Wissa - Scores brace in friendly Wissa scored a brace in Saturday's 2-1 friendly win over Valencia, confirming he is in good shape ahead of the 2026/27 Premier League season.

Impact Wissa dealt with a knee injury at the start of last season that delayed his Newcastle debut until December, finishing his debut campaign with just one goal across 19 Premier League appearances following his move from Brentford. He however had a strong World Cup, scoring three goals in four appearances for DR Congo and this early preseason brace is an encouraging sign, and he could hold a bigger role under new coach Matthias Jaissle as Newcastle looks to build a fuller campaign around him this season.

Anthony Elanga - Shin injury not considered serious Elanga suffered a blow to the shin during Saturday's friendly contest against Valencia, after which coach Matthias Jaissle stated that "It was a shocking challenge, that's right. I...

Impact Elanga was stretchered off the field in the first half of the practice match, and despite initial fears of a significant issue, it now appears he could avoid such complication. However, the forward will likely need to be evaluated, and his involvement in upcoming friendlies may be limited so that the injury heals in time for the Aug. 23 season opener versus Liverpool. He has been operating on the right wing, and it was Jacob Murphy who took that spot after his injury exit Saturday.

AUGUST 8 • ROTOWIRE

William Osula - Features in offseason Osula (groin) started and played 45 minutes during Saturday's friendly clash against Valencia.

Impact Osula's comeback from a minor injury boosts his side's depth at the striker position, with the forward expected to be part of a rotation with Yoane Wissa and Nick Woltemade, although he played alongside the latter during the last friendly game. Despite some moments of inconsistency, the former Sheffield United man had finished the 2025/26 season in good form, scoring five goals over his last seven starts.

Joelinton - Subs on versus Valencia Joelinton (thigh) played as a substitute during Saturday's friendly match against Valencia.

Impact Joelinton bounced back in time to see preseason action after dealing with a physical issue since the final two weeks of the previous campaign. He's now set to work on regaining top form, as he could be a key piece of a Newcastle midfield that lost Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes, who joined Tottenham and Arsenal, respectively, over the transfer window. At his best, Joelinton could serve as a consistent all-around contributor, although it may take a bit of time for him to regain extended playing time.

Lewis Miley - Still recovering Miley (lower leg) will miss Saturday's friendly against Valencia, as he will not be risked and has traveled back to Newcastle, according to Mark Douglas of The i Paper Sport.

Impact Miley has been making good progress in his recovery from the broken leg suffered in a training incident back in the spring, with former coach Eddie Howe recently saying he was expected to return to training at La Manga. His continued absence from matchday squads appears to be part of a gradual buildup rather than a new setback, and his path back to full training will be worth tracking as preseason continues.
