Lewis Miley - 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.

Yoane Wissa - Likely to return next week Wissa (knock) remains out for Saturday's clash against Manchester City but could be back in contention for Tuesday's Champions League second leg against Qarabag, coach Eddie Howe s...

Impact Wissa has missed the last three games across all competitions after picking up a knock, and Saturday's showdown against the Citizens comes too soon for him to get back on the field. The striker is trending toward a return Tuesday in the Champions League clash against Qarabag, assuming there are no setbacks in the coming days. Until he is cleared, Nick Woltemade is in line to handle an expanded role up top for the Magpies and should continue seeing increased run in the attacking rotation.

Tino Livramento - Making good progress Livramento (hamstring) is making good progress but is still expected to return in early March, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "He's making good progress but I don't...

Impact Livramento is trending in the right direction as he works his way back from a hamstring injury, but his projected return is still tracking for early March. The medical staff are expected to stay patient and avoid accelerating the final phase of his rehab in order to minimize the risk of any setback. In the meantime, Lewis Hall and Kieran Trippier are in line for an uptick in minutes while he continues his recovery.

Sven Botman - Back in contention Botman (back) is back in contention for Saturday's clash against Manchester City, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "Better news on Sven, he could be in and around thi...

Impact Botman missed the last two matches in all competitions with back issues but he is back in the mix for Saturday's showdown against Manchester City. That is a huge boost for the Magpies because he is a locked-in starter in the heart of the back line whenever he is healthy. Botman now has a real shot to step right back into the starting XI against the Citizens and anchor the defense again.

Jacob Murphy - Scores first UCL goal Murphy scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 6-1 win over Qarabag.

Impact Murphy capped the night with a deflected shot for his first Champions League goal this season. The goal is a rare bright spot in a down year, as the winger has struggled to replicate his form from last season when he started 31 league games and contributed nine goals and 14 assists. This season, he has made just 18 starts in all competitions, with only five in his last 13 appearances, and has three goals and three assists to his name.

Harvey Barnes - Assists with season high in tackles Barnes assisted once to go with six shots (three on goal) and three chances created in Wednesday's 6-1 victory versus Qarabag.

Impact Barnes ended his six game goal contribution drought with an assist, his third of the season and first since early November. The winger was involved throughout on the left, recording a season high six shots while also creating two chances. He also set a new season high defensively with four tackles in a dominant performance against Qarabag.

Kieran Trippier - Assists in win Trippier assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 6-1 win against Qarabag.

Impact Trippier's crossing volume was down to just two on the night, his lowest of the season. But one delivery found Thiaw, who scored from a header, giving Trippier his second Champions League assist and first since November. Across his last five appearances, the right back has created 10 chances, sent in 26 crosses, and contributed defensively with eight tackles, 15 clearances, one interception and one block.

Dan Burn - Assists the opener Burn assisted once to go with two shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 6-1 victory against Qarabag.

Impact Burn provided the assist for the opener, his second in the Champions League and third across his last five starts. The centre-back also fired two shots from set pieces, matching his total from his previous 10 appearances. Defensively, he registered two interceptions, two blocks, and four clearances but did not record a tackle for the first time in six games.

Malick Thiaw - Scores first UCL goal Thiaw scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Wednesday's 6-1 win against Qarabag. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 76th minute.

Impact Already with four league goals to his name, Thiaw added his first Champions League strike this season, nodding home Trippier's pinpoint delivery. The center back has emerged as a consistent offensive weapon, netting twice in his last five outings while registering nine shots over that same span.

Nick Pope - Concedes once in win Pope had one save and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 6-1 win versus Qarabag.

Impact Pope was barely troubled, making just one routine stop from range, though the goal that beat him was preventable. The result means he missed out on a sixth Champions League clean sheet and has now gone six matches across all competitions without a shutout , with a stiff test awaits Saturday against Manchester City's league-leading attack.

Anthony Gordon - Nets first-half super hat trick Gordon scored four goals to go with six shots (six on goal) and two chances created in Wednesday's 6-1 win versus Qarabag.

Impact Gordon produced his best attacking display of the season, scoring a first-half super hat trick that featured two penalties. His relentless runs and pressing tormented the Qarabag defense, and he might have had even more after missing two additional big chances. Gordon continues to excel since moving to centre forward role, marking his third straight start there. In that span, he has produced 13 shots and registered five goals and one assist, contributing in every match.

Jhon Duran booked FIVE MINUTES into Zenit debut after ugly clash with opposition defender

Sandro Tonali - Brace in FA Cup Tonali has started in all but one game since the turn of the new year and has recorded two goals in that time.

Impact Tonali has been an everyday starter for Newcastle the past few months after some injuries affected the squad, one of the few midfielders able to remain fit lately. He has not been the most prosperous when it comes to goal contributions, but found a stroke of form in FA Cup play on Saturday, recording two goals in the win. This is a spot that should stick for Italian as he hopes to continue his success, yet to score a goal in league or UCL play, but has earned two assists.

Joelinton - Selected for bench Joelinton (groin) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Qarabag.

Impact Joelinton has made the team sheet Wednesday after his slated return, with the attacker an option from the bench. That said, it appears he still needs some time to focus on the injury, not risking him inthe starting XI yet. However, with numerous injuries throughout the team, he should return to his starting role in the coming games.

Impact Botman is dealing with an issue since the last FA Cup meeting with Aston Villa, and it remains to be seen when he'll return to the field. He's currently likely to sit out the upcoming Champions League clash, where Malick Thiaw and Dan Burn should start at center-back. Botman had previously scored once over seven full-game appearances in 2026.

Impact Krafth is not receiving a good update Tuesday, as the defender underwent an operation on his knee and is likely to miss the rest of the season. This is a blow to a club that is dealing with issues all over the field, already without Fabian Schar (ankle) and Valentino Livramento (hamstring), now without another depth option in the defense. They will now wait for the return of Sven Botman for the addition of another central defender, currently only with Kieran Trippier left as a backup, and potentially needing to turn to some youth players to fill the bench.

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.

Impact Joelinton is going to return to the team sheet for UCL action after nursing a groin injury, a massive return to an injured midfield unit. The Brazilian will likely be slated to start immediately, as he is a regular starter normally, already without Bruno Guimaraes (hamstring). With two goal contributions in UCL play this season, he will look to take advantage of his return, hoping to prosper in the first leg against a oppenet they should beat on paper.
