Dan Burn - Making good progress Burn (ribs) is making good progress and training on grass with a timeframe that should be counted in weeks, coach Eddie Howe mentioned in a press conference. "Dan was given a timef...

Impact Burn is working hard in his recovery from a fractured rib and was spotted running and making good progress on grass this week. The center-back will likely be back in a few weeks and his absence forces changes in the backline, with Malick Thiaw and Sven Botman as the main option to replace him in central defense until he returns fully fit.

Fabian Schar - Avoids broken ankle Schar (ankle) did not break his ankle following his injury in Wednesday's match against Leeds, but is still expected to miss a lengthy period, Keith Downie of Sky Sports reports.

Impact Schar's exact recovery timeline remains unclear, though the initial tests have provided positive news after there was fear of a broken ankle as a worst-case scenario. The defender is unlikely to feature over the next few weeks while he undergoes further assessment. Meanwhile, Malick Thiaw and Sven Botman could feature at center-back, with Dan Burn (ribs) adding an option assuming he recovers sooner than Schar.

Dan Burn - Back on grass, still weeks away Burn (ribs) is back on the grass running but is still a few weeks away from making his return, coach Eddie Howe said in a press conference, according to Scott Wilson from The North...

Impact Burn was spotted running on grass in recent days as part of his rehabilitation process following the fractured rib he suffered against Sunderland in mid December, but the defender is still weeks away from making his return to competition. A return before the end of the month is still possible, and he will likely resume his starting role once deemed fit to feature. Until then, Malick Thiaw is expected to take on a larger role in central defense, with Fabian Schar (ankle) likely out for months, even though Lewis Miley also featured in that spot against Leeds United and could get another chance in a more central role.

Fabian Schar - Taken to hospital Schar (lower leg) was taken to a hospital after suffering a potentially serious injury during Wednesday's clash versus Leeds United, and manager Eddie Howe commented "It looks like...

Impact Schar is currently expected to miss several games following a violent collision on his leg during the last league match. Depending on his medical assessment, he could have a slight chance of returning in the 2025/26 campaign. Otherwise, he'll end the season with 17 shots (four on goal), 80 clearances, 17 interceptions and four clean sheets across 18 appearances in all competitions. His absence would leave Newcastle with Malick Thiaw and Sven Botman available as healthy center-back choices, with Dan Burn (ribs) still questionable.

Fabian Schar - Suffers injury against Leeds Schar left the field due to an apparently serious leg injury in Wednesday's game versus Leeds United.

Impact Schar was stretchered off after an opposing player landed on his leg during the second half of the midweek contest. This could be a severe blow for the defender, who is now unlikely to see action in at least a few weeks. He previously racked up 17 shots (four on goal), 80 clearances, 17 interceptions and four clean sheets across 18 appearances in all competitions. Malick Thiaw and Sven Botman are center-back options for a side that could be without Schar and Dan Burn (ribs) in upcoming games.

Jacob Murphy - On bench midweek Murphy (hamstring) is among the substitutes for Wednesday's clash against Leeds United.

Impact Murphy was unable to retain a starting role despite getting a positive scan on his muscle injury. The winger should at least come off the bench in upcoming fixtures, most likely offering an alternative to Harvey Barnes on the right flank. In that case, he'll aim to increase his counts of two goals and three assists in 22 matches played this season.

Jacob Murphy - Could be available Wednesday Murphy (hamstring) underwent scans that revealed to be positive and could be an option for Wednesday's clash against Leeds United, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "H...

Impact Murphy was forced off in the last game due to a hamstring issue that revealed to be likely only just fatigue since coach Eddie Howe said the scans were positive and ruling out a major injury. Murphy could be back available for Wednesday's clash against Leeds United and will likely get a late fitness test ahead of the game. That said, if he had to miss the clash, Harvey Barnes is expected to see a greater role in the frontline of the Magpies.

Anthony Elanga - Not available Wednesday Elanga is dealing with a knee injury and won't make it for Wednesday's clash against Leeds United, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference, according to Craig Hope from the D...

Impact Elanga missed the last three games due to a knee injury and will miss Wednesday's clash against Leeds United after being labelled a late call in the recent days. The forward is nearing a return but the game on Wednesday is coming too soon for him. His next chance to return will come against Bournemouth on Saturday, leaving Harvey Barnes some space to see increased playing time in the frontline while he is still sidelined.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Kieran Trippier - Available from bench Trippier (hamstring) remained an unused substitute in Sunday's 2-0 win against Crystal Palace, confirming he is back available for Newcastle.

Impact Trippier finally cleared his hamstring injury that sidelined him since early November since he was back available on the bench in Sunday's victory against Crystal Palace. The right-back will likely be eased back into the mix to avoid any setbacks and since the young Lewis Miley has been doing well at right-back in recent weeks.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Sven Botman - Unused substitute Sunday Botman (back) remained an unused substitute in Sunday's 2-0 win against Crystal Palace, confirming he is back available for Newcastle.

Impact Botman cleared his back issues after missing all the games since late November and is now fit moving forward since he was an option from the bench in Sunday's win against the eagles. The center-back will likely resumed a rotational role until getting back to full competitive fitness and to avoid any new setbacks for a player labelled as injury prone in recent seasons.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Anthony Elanga - Late call Wednesday Elanga (undisclosed) resumed team training and will be a late call for Wednesday's clash against Leeds United, according to Kyle Newbould from the Yorkshire Evening Post.

Impact Elanga missed the last three games due to a knock that he has been struggling to get rid of and will be a late call for Wednesday's clash against Leeds United after resuming team training with the Magpies in recent days. This would be a boost for the attack since Jacob Murphy (hamstring) is also a doubt for that game, reducing the options in the frontline for coach Eddie Howe. Harvey Barnes is likely to see increased playing time if both remain out.

Jacob Murphy - Doubtful against Leeds United Murphy (hamstring) is a doubt for Wednesday's clash against Leeds United due to an injury, according to Kyle Newbould from the Yorkshire Evening Post. "Jacob was just feeling a bit...

Impact Murphy is dealing with a hamstring injury and is a doubt for Wednesday's clash against Leeds United. The winger will likely be assessed after the final training session and if he had to miss the game, it would be a blow for the Magpies since he started three of the last four games in the Premier League. If Murphy had to miss some time, Harvey Barnes will likely start on the right wing until he returns.

Next Manchester United Manager: Why Mauricio Pochettino Is A Dark Horse Candidate

Tino Livramento - Returns to play Sunday Livramento (knee) appeared for 27 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Impact Livramento would see the field Sunday after three games out due to a knee injury and is fit once again, with the defender earning a spot on the bench. He would earn 27 minutes of play from the bench, recording a chance created and a clearance in his time on the field. He will look to return to a starting role at full-back in the coming matches, with Kieran Trippier (hamstring) also nearing a return to play.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Lewis Miley - Provides assist in win Miley assisted once to go with five crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 2-0 victory versus Crystal Palace.

Impact Miley caught the eye while playing at right back, holding his own defensively and staying composed in possession despite difficult conditions. He helped Newcastle manage Palace's wide threats and supported the build-up when the Magpies pushed for a winner. Miley provided the assist for Bruno Guimaraes' opener, contributing to two season highs with five crosses and three tackles during the game. His assist was his third in 16 appearances this season for Newcastle, but he also equaled his career high from 2023, giving him time to surpass that mark in the second half of the season.

Malick Thiaw - Scores goal in victory Thiaw scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-0 win against Crystal Palace.

Impact Thiaw sealed the win in the 78th minute by stabbing home after Bruno Guimaraes' corner caused a goalmouth scramble. Palace had defended well for long stretches, but they could not deal with the second phase of the set piece. Thiaw's finish removed the tension from the closing minutes and confirmed a 2-0 home win for the Magpies. The center-back was also impressive defensively, contributing 10 clearances, two blocks, and a season high five tackles, three of which were successful, to help Newcastle secure their first clean sheet since early November.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Bruno Guimaraes - Scores opening goal in win Guimaraes scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-0 victory versus Crystal Palace.

Impact Guimaraes broke the deadlock in the 71st minute when he headed home from close range after Palace failed to clear their lines. He then delivered the corner that led to Malick Thiaw's 78th minute goal, turning sustained pressure into a quick second. Earlier, he had gone close by hitting the crossbar directly from a corner shortly after the hour mark. During the defensive phases, he was brilliant as usual, contributing two tackles, one clearance, and a season high three interceptions. His goal on Sunday was his seventh of the season in 19 games, equaling his career high from 2023 with Newcastle.
