Harvey Barnes - 11 crosses in 1-0 loss Barnes registered three shots (zero on goal), 11 crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 1-0 loss against Aston Villa.

Impact Barnes was unable to help his side as they lost 1-0 to Aston Villa at home. The winger completed two of his 11 cross attempts to create three chances in total.

Yoane Wissa - Seven shots off target in loss Wissa generated seven shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Aston Villa. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 55th minute.

Impact Wissa had seven attempts but was unable to find the target as Newcastle lost 1-0 to Aston Villa, the striker left his teammates particularly frustrated in the second half as he selfishly decided to shoot from distance instead of trying to find a teammate in a better position. This was the first time this season he has taken more than four shots in a game and the attacker has scored one so far this year.

Dan Burn - Second straight appearance off bench Burn came off the bench and played the final minutes in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Aston Villa.

Impact Burn entered the game as a striker, as Newcastle wanted to take advantage of his height and size to win headers in the opposing box in the final minutes. This was the second straight game Burn played off the bench, and it remains to be seen when he'll return to a starting role, as he's arguably the most experienced defender in the squad.

Bazoumana Toure - On bench against Villa Toure (leg) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Toure was forced off against Coventry City with a leg injury but has made encouraging progress since then. Despite initial concerns over the severity of the issue, he has recovered sufficiently to return to the matchday squad.

Impact Ramsey continues to recover from a thigh injury that has kept him out of Newcastle's last two matches against Hull City and Coventry City. The midfielder is making progress toward his return and could resume partial team training next week, although he will need additional time to rebuild his match fitness. Ramsey has primarily operated as a substitute this season, and his eventual return would provide Newcastle with additional depth in midfield rather than an immediate starting option.

Dan Burn - Likely to remain on bench Burn (ankle) is unlikely to start Saturday's Premier League clash against Aston Villa but could feature off the bench, according to coach Matthias Jaissle. "We need to manage it re...

Impact Burn recently returned to Newcastle's matchday squad against Coventry City on Monday after recovering from an ankle injury. The defender has completed only a few training sessions since his return, leaving him short of the fitness required to start against Aston Villa. Another appearance off the bench could help him gradually rebuild his match sharpness, although he will face competition from Sven Botman for a starting role once fully fit.

Joelinton - Could start against Aston Villa Joelinton (thigh) could return to the starting lineup for Saturday's Premier League clash against Aston Villa, according to coach Matthias Jaissle. "We need to manage it really car...

Impact Joelinton is closing in on his first Premier League start of the season after recovering from a thigh injury that sidelined him throughout the opening weeks of the campaign. The midfielder returned to Newcastle's matchday squad against Coventry City on Monday and has completed more training sessions than fellow injury returnee Dan Burn. His improving fitness puts him in contention for a starting role against Aston Villa, although his playing time could still be managed as he works toward full match sharpness.

Tino Livramento - Still weeks away from return Livramento (undisclosed) remains sidelined for Saturday's Premier League clash against Aston Villa after missing Newcastle's matches against Hull City and Coventry City, according...

Impact Livramento has missed Newcastle's last two matches against Hull City and Coventry City due to an undisclosed injury, with his recovery still ongoing. The defender remains unavailable for Saturday's clash against Aston Villa, as manager Matthias Jaissle indicated that his return is still a few weeks away. No precise comeback date has been established, leaving Newcastle without one of their regular defensive options. Lewis Miley could continue providing cover at right-back until Livramento is ready to return.

Bazoumana Toure - In contention for Villa clash Toure (leg) is making encouraging progress after suffering an injury against Coventry City and could be available for Saturday's Premier League clash against Aston Villa, according...

Impact Toure was forced off late during Monday's match against Coventry City after sustaining an apparent right leg injury, having entered as a substitute in the 59th minute. The winger initially appeared to be in considerable discomfort, but his recovery has progressed better than expected over the past few days. Manager Matthias Jaissle remains hopeful that Toure can rejoin the squad against Aston Villa, although his availability has yet to be confirmed.

Anthony Elanga - Set to resume training next week Elanga (hamstring) remains sidelined for Saturday's Premier League clash against Aston Villa but could resume partial team training next week, according to coach Matthias Jaissle....

Impact Elanga continues to recover from the hamstring injury he sustained in training before Newcastle's September 14 clash against Leeds. The winger has been sidelined for several weeks but is progressing toward a return to training, although the coaching staff intend to reintegrate him gradually. Elanga scored twice in his first three Premier League appearances this season before suffering the injury, establishing himself as an important attacking option. Jacob Murphy could continue starting on the right wing while Elanga works toward regaining full fitness.

Anthony Elanga - In final stages of rehab Elanga (hamstring) is in the final stages of his rehabilitation and could rejoin training shortly, with hope that he returns in the coming weeks, according to Craig Hope of the Dai...

Impact Elanga picked up the hamstring injury in training before the Sept. 14 game at Leeds, and early scans raised fears of an absence of up to two months, but his recovery has moved quicker than expected and a return to training is close. He scored twice in three Premier League appearances during Newcastle's unbeaten start to the season, and the side have lost two of their three league matches without him. Jacob Murphy has started the last two Premier League matches in his place without yet finding his best form, so Elanga could reclaim the role once he regains full fitness.

Joe Willock - Five shots Monday Willock generated five shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 4-1 defeat against Coventry City.

Impact Willock recorded a season-high five shots Monday, though he failed to put a single one on target. He also created one chance in a fairly disappointing day on the attack. He was replaced in the 59th minute for Joelinton.

Nicolas Gonzalez - Assists in Monday's loss Gonzalez assisted once to go with zero corners and six chances created in Monday's 4-1 loss to Coventry City.

Impact Gonzalez recorded his first goal contribution of the season Monday as he assisted Sven Botman's goal in the 70th minute. It was one of an impressive six chances he created in the match. He also won three tackles and intercepted one pass on the defensive end, but he and his teammates were completely overrun on that end of the pitch.

Lukas Hornicek - Concedes four in loss Hornicek made two saves and allowed four goals in Monday's 4-1 loss versus Coventry City.

Impact Hornicek conceded four goals Monday, his second time in the last three games conceding four goals. It was a very disappointing performance for him and his defense against a side that had scored just one goal in the first five matches of the season. Next up is a trip to Aston Villa on Saturday.

Sven Botman - Scores consolation goal Monday Botman scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Monday's 4-1 defeat against Coventry City. He also added eight clearances.

Impact Botman was busy defensively, and oddly, he represented all the offense Newcastle could muster in this 4-1 loss with a rocket from outside the box that went into an impossible angle for Carl Rushworth. This was Botman's first goal of the season, but the center-back isn't expected to become a scoring threat overnight. He should continue to earn most of his upside via defensive-related numbers.

Bazoumana Toure - Departs with injury Monday Toure left Monday's game against Coventry City with an apparent right leg injury.

Impact Toure was forced to leave the game late in the second half after entering in the 59th minute, and he departed the contest in noticeable pain while being assessed by the medical staff. Further tests will be needed to determine whether Toure will miss time, and he should be considered questionable to face Aston Villa on Saturday.

Dan Burn - Makes bench in return from injury Burn (ankle) is on the bench for Monday's game against Coventry City.

Impact Burn resumed in recent days, and the towering defender is back in the squad for this contest. Even though he's a bench option for now, Burn should reclaim his regular role in the starting lineup as soon as next Saturday against Aston Villa, as he's the captain of the side and the undisputed leader on the defensive zone.
