Allan Saint-Maximin - Fine to face Liverpool Saint-Maximin (knock) has been training and is fine for Saturday's match against Liverpool, according to manager Eddie Howe.

Impact Saint-Maximin took a kick to his leg late last match, something that isn't new to him. He was likely going to be subbed off early no matter the situation, so this can be chalked up as a minor knock and all signs point to another start against Liverpool. Since returning to the XI the last two matches, he has three shots, six inaccurate crosses and two fouls drawn.

Miguel Almiron - Ready for weekend Almiron (wrist) has been training and will be available for Saturday's match against Liverpool, according to manager Eddie Howe.

Impact Almiron only had his wrist stepped on last week, so it was never expected to be something that would keep him out of the starting XI. He's started every league match for Newcastle this season and will continue that run Saturday in a massive spot against Liverpool, having totaled just two shots on goal in his last six starts.

Joseph Willock - Unlikely against Liverpool Willock (hamstring) has yet to train and is doubtful for Saturday's match against Liverpool, according to manager Eddie Howe. "I don't think it's a big injury at all - it's a very...

Impact It sounds like only a minor tweak for Willock, which means he should be available again in the next week or two. Unfortunately, this injury correlates with a Bruno Guimaraes suspension, which means Newcastle still have some questions in the midfield. Jacob Murphy could start or Howe could go with a different formation and more attacking player like Anthony Gordon.

Matt Targett - Back in training Targett (heel) is back in training but won't return to the squad just yet, according to manager Eddie Howe. "I won't push him this weekend at this moment in time, but it's a good s...

Impact Targett hasn't appeared since before the World Cup and there's no reason to push his return with Dan Burn healthy and starting every match. The good news is that Targett is nearly back and will provide another kind of option at left-back, along with some depth which Newcastle may need for the final few months.

Callum Wilson - Hopeful to train Friday Wilson (knock) is hopeful to train Friday ahead of Saturday's match against Liverpool, according to manager Eddie Howe. "As we said at the time, it was a very minor complaint for h...

Impact Wilson was a surprise absence last match and it doesn't sound like he'll be ready to start against Liverpool, which means another call for Alexander Isak as the central striker. If Wilson doesn't train Friday, he may not even be in the squad Saturday despite it being a "minor complaint."

Kieran Trippier - Dangerous playmaker in draw Trippier executed three clearances, two tackles and blocked a shot in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Bournemouth. He also performed 16 crosses (two accurate).

Impact Trippier was his usual dangerous self on Saturday working down the Magpie's attacking right flank. He executed all their set pieces (free kicks and corners) and was sharp and threatening when on the ball. The regular starting defender has scored once, delivered four assists and contributed to 12 clean sheets.

Allan Saint-Maximin - Strikes shot-on-target in draw Saint-Maximin fired two shots (one on-target) and placed four crosses (none accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Bournemouth.

He was injured in the second half and subbed after 84.The French forward has made 14 appearances (six starts), scored once and provided three assists. He is struggling to find the form he demonstrated earlier in the season. He has not scored or assisted since November last year.

Nick Pope - Pulls off three saves in draw Pope completed three saves, a clearing punch and conceded one in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Bournemouth.

Impact Pope had a relatively quiet game on Saturday but he was sharp when needed. On numerous occasions he demonstrated his alertness by coming out of his area to successfully intercept the ball before pursuing Bournemouth attackers could pounce upon it.

FEBRUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joelinton - Weak performance in draw Joelinton fired just one shot (off-target) in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Bournemouth. He also picked up a yellow card.

Impact Joelinton did not have one of his better games on Saturday. The attacking midfielder managed just one shot, which was not on-target, he was not effective in defense and lost possession of the ball eight times. His frustration caused him to pick up a yellow card. From 20 appearances (19 starts) he has scored just two goals and delivered one assist.

FEBRUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Miguel Almiron - Scores first since December Almiron scored from this only shot-on-target in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Bournemouth.

Impact Almiron was a live wire on Saturday. He harried the Bournemouth defense and was dangerous with his playmaking, often linking up with Kieran Trippier. His goal was a testament to his alertness and pace, he quickly pounced on a save that was parried away and buried it into the net. It broke a dry spell for the Paraguayan, it has been six EPL games since he last scored. He did pick up an injury during the second half when his wrist was accidentally trodden on. It led to his substitution after 81. From 22 appearances (all starts) he has scored 10 goals and provided an assist. He is currently the sixth top goal scorer in the EPL.

Allan Saint-Maximin - Comes off with knock Saint-Maximin was forced off with a knock to his leg during Saturday's one-all draw with Bournemouth, Keith Downie of Sky Sports reports.

Impact Saint-Maximin was able to walk off under his own power, so it's possible he isn't facing a long-term injury concern. It was the forward's second start in the club's last 10 contests, having been primary a reserve option since returning from a previous injury stint. If Saint-Maximin can't play against Liverpool on Saturday, Ryan Fraser could make his first start since Sept. 17 against Bournemouth.

Joseph Willock - Dealing with hamstring injury Willock (hamstring) was forced off with an apparent hamstring injury during Saturday's draw with Bournemouth, Keith Downie of Sky reports.

Impact Willock has been a mainstay in the starting XI this season, starting 20 of his 22 appearances for the club in which he recorded two goals on 32 shots (nine on target), two assists and 33 crosses (seven accurate). When Willock was forced off against Bournemouth, Anthony Gordon subbed on in his stead and could be in line to replace Willock in the starting XI if he is out of action long-term.

Callum Wilson - Out with knock Wilson is not in the match day squad to face Bournemouth due to a knock. Manager Eddie Howe added "Callum has just got a very minor hamstring complaint. He will miss this game, but...

Anthony Gordon - Could make first start Saturday Gordon -- who came off the bench against West Ham United on Saturday -- may be set to make his debut in the Newcastle United starting XI on Saturday. Manager Eddie Howe told report...

Impact In that substitute outing versus West Ham, Gordon recorded one shot (off target), 10 passes and one chance created in 21 minutes. After forcing his way out of Everton, the pressure will be on the youngster to produce at his new club despite having scored just three goals on 26 shots (eight on target in 16 appearances for the Toffees this season.

Matt Targett - Edging closer to return Targett (heel) is getting closer to a return to full training, according to manager Eddie Howe. "He's close to training. He's worked hard on his rehabilitation with the physios and...

Impact Targett has been out since late December with this injury and once ready to return, he'll remain a depth option behind Dan Burn at left-back. He's one of the casualties of Howe's system, as Burn provides a bit more in terms of defense than Targett.

FEBRUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alexander Isak - Ready to face Bournemouth Isak (concussion) has passed protocol and will be in the squad for Saturday's trip to Bournemouth, according to manager Eddie Howe.

Impact Isak will be available again and there's a slight chance he could draw his first start since September with Bruno Guimaraes still suspended. Allan Saint-Maximin started on the left wing against West Ham, but Howe has already said Isak can play any of the front three spots. No matter, Isak figures to make the pitch at some point Saturday.
