Anthony Elanga - Records 21 minutes in cup Elanga (knee) created one scoring chance over 21 minutes as a substitute in Tuesday's EFL Cup loss to Manchester City.

Impact Elanga bounced back from the injury that forced him to miss the previous five games across all competitions. It's unclear if he'll get plenty of minutes in upcoming games, but he could contend with Harvey Barnes on the right flank if Jacob Murphy (hamstring) is ruled out. The former Manchester United man has failed to score and provided just one assist during 26 appearances this season.

Jacob Murphy - Subs off early in Cup action Murphy (hamstring) was forced off after 45 minutes of Tuesday's game versus Manchester City.

Impact Murphy has struggled to play consistently throughout the season as he apparently can't fully overcome a hamstring issue. He started on the right wing against City after missing the previous contest, but he was replaced by Harvey Barnes in first-half stoppage time. While the severity of the issue is unclear, it could force Murphy to face an extended absence and become unavailable for EPL play.

Tino Livramento - Out eight weeks Livremento (hamstring) is set to miss the next eight weeks of action due to a hamstring injury, according to Keith Downie of Sky Sports.

Impact Livremento is looking at an extended absence after he was set for scans on an injury, as the defender has been confirmed to be out eight weeks due to a hamstring injury. This will leave him out until around mid-March, a rough absence that will see him miss numerous matches moving forward. This will leave them with less depth as UCL play starts back up again, forcing Kieran Trippier and Lewis Hall to see most of the time at full-back.

Sven Botman - Extends with Magpies Botman has extended his contract with Newcastle, according to his club.

Impact Botman is not leaving Newcastle anytime soon, as the defender has inked a new contract until summer 2030. He joined in 2022 and has seen time between the starting XI and bench, mainly losing time due to injuries an issue throughout the defenders career. He is currently seeing starting time but may be relegated back to a rotational spot once the defense is fit, with Malick Thiaw and Dan Burn (ribs) preferred this season.

Emil Krafth - Out another match Krafth (knee) is out for Thursday's Carabao Cup match against Manchester City, according to manager Eddie Howe. "He's a big miss for us at the moment. He is trying to come back fro...

Impact Krafth is not going to be with the club for another match as he continues to battle knee issues, a rough spell on the sidelines after last playing Nov. 2. This leaves the club with a bit less depth in the defense, something to monitor as that department struggles to remain fit. However, he has only appeared once all season, merely serving as a backup when he is fit, although no return date stands in place.

Kieran Trippier - Starts in FA Cup Trippier started and went 69 minutes in Saturday's FA Cup win against Bournemouth, finishing with two corners.

Impact Trippier is fully back from injury after staying on the bench the prior two league matches. With a new injury to Valentino Livramento, it likely means a move back into the full-time XI for Trippier, similar to early in the season. Given their defensive injuries, Trippier is needed as much as possible, though Lewis Miley can seemingly play any position, including right-back.

Jacob Murphy - Could return after precaution miss Murphy (hamstring) could return in Tuesday's Carabao Cup first semifinal leg against Manchester City after missing Saturday's win against Bournemouth as a precaution, coach Eddie H...

Impact Murphy is still dealing with his hamstring issue and missed Saturday's clash against the Cherries as a precaution to avoid any further setbacks. The forward could be in line to return and be available for Tuesday's Carabao Cup first semifinal leg against Manchester City if nothing occurs ahead of the match. Murphy started three of his last five appearances and could resume that role in upcoming fixtures if he is fully fit again.

Tino Livramento - Will be assessed Monday Livramento will be assessed on Monday for the hamstring injury he suffered in Saturday's clash against Bournemouth, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "No major update,...

Impact Livramento suffered a hamstring injury in Saturday's Carabao Cup clash win against Bournemouth and will have a scan on Monday to determine the extent of the damage. The left back will likely be sidelined for a few weeks at least, which will give some starting chances to Kieran Trippier and Lewis Hall in the backline during his recovery.

Impact Elanga is nearing a return from a knee injury that made him miss all the games since late December and could make his return in Tuesday's first leg of the Carabao Cup semifinal against Manchester City. His return would be a great news for the Magpies to give a boost to the frontline, although Elanga is expected to claim back a rotational role in the frontline, with Yoane Wissa looking to keep a starting role for Newcastle.

Impact Livramento was forced off in FA Cup play Saturday and is heading towards the sidelines, with the defender already deemed to have suffered a hamstring injury. While no return date is yet in place, he is already set to miss a decent amount of time. The hope will be a return before the end of the month as matches continue to come quickly, although that is up in the air. Kieran Trippier and Lewis Hall should see the start at full-back until Livramento returns.

This also marked the fourth time in 24 appearances between league play and UCL play that he accounted for more than one chance created in a match. Additionally, he nabbed his first interception in 20 outings and recorded a tackle for a second straight game.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE
