Couple weeks from return Pope (shoulder) has started his rehabilitation process but is still a decent ways from a return, as manager Eddie Howe told reporters, "There's no immediate update but he's not on...

Impact Pope has now been away from the team for around three months due to the shoulder issue he picked up against Manchester United on Dec. 2. However, the keeper seems to be nearing a return after getting back to working in the gym and trying a few training sessions, but will still most likely need a couple more weeks to recover until ready for a return. It will hopefully come sometime in March, but it could take a little longer, with the club probably not wanting to rush him back into play, as he could easily aggravate the injury again if not fully healed before taking the field.

Impact Pope was already expected to be out long term but this latest update confirms that the keeper will need shoulder surgery. Based on his recovery timeline, Pope could still return before the close of the 2023-24 campaign, though he'll need to be close to that four-month period. In the meantime, Martin Dubravka figures to take over as the first-choice keeper with Loris Karius also available.

Fortunately for Newcastle, the club also has veteran Loris Karius under contract, so they shouldn't need to pursue another keeper during the upcoming transfer window. For his part, Pope has earned six clean sheets in 19 PL and UCL outings this season while conceding just 19 goals.

In his absence, Martin Dubravka will take over the goalkeeping duties for Newcastle. He had only started just one league match during the 2022/23 season.

Leaves field holding shoulder Pope exited Saturday's match against Manchester United in the 86th minute due to an injury, holding his shoulder as he walked off the pitch.

Impact Pope looked to be in a lot of pain as he walked off the pitch Saturday, holding his shoulder and grimacing after taking a tough fall after saving a shot. This is a huge blow for Newcastle, as their goalie department was the only portion of the team unscathed by injuries until now. There is still no further information on the injury, as that should be taken care of in the press conference after the match. He was replaced by Martin Dubravka, who should stay as the starting keeper if Pope misses time with the knock.

But during the 96th minute, a Valentino Livramento handball rewarded Paris Saint-Germain a penalty kick, which Kylian Mbappe converted for the team's game-tying goal. The draw proved costly for Newcastle United, who must defeat AC Milan on Dec. 13 to advance into the Champions League knockout stage. Until then, Newcastle United will have to go through a tough series of Premier League games, beginning with one Saturday against Manchester United.

Impact Pope made a series of world-class saves that salvaged what could have been a large, humiliating defeat on Saturday. He faced a sharp and aggressive Bournemouth team that demanded he be on his toes when called into action. He was let down by a tired looking Magpies team in front of him. The regular starter has completed 36 saves (3.0 per game, 73 percent), conceded 13 (1.1 per game) and delivered five clean sheets (currently best in EPL).

Struggles in defeat Pope recorded six saves and allowed two goals in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Pope faced eight shots and stopped six of them during Tuesday's loss. It wasn't a bad performance but he just couldn't keep up with the variety of Dortmund's attacking chances. The other concern was Pope's ankle which seemed to be bothering him in the second half. He was able to play through it, but it could be something to monitor before a Saturday trip to Bournemouth.

Gets beaten twice versus Wolves Pope made four saves and conceded two goals during Saturday's 2-2 draw against Wolverhampton.

Impact Pope saw the opposition scoring once each half but both goals came off strikes from very close range so there's not any reason for blaming him. Also, the goalkeeper was key for his side to escape with at least one point, making some nice interventions along the way. With back-to-back games of four saves made, the goalkeeper will have a very challenging mission next Saturday as his side hosts Arsenal.

Four saves for loss Pope recorded four saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat versus Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Pope faced five shots and stopped four of them, including a brilliant double save in the opening minutes. Unfortunately a halftime strike from Felix Nmecha proved to be enough to beat Pope and leave him with the loss. Pope has been excellent in 2023/24, with five clean sheets in all competitions and 36 saves across the Premier League and Champions League.

Easy clean sheet Pope made three saves on his way to a clean sheet in Saturday's 4-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Impact Pope did not have to work too hard to pick up his fifth clean sheet of the season as the opposition never truly tested him. The keeper has only conceded three goals in his last seven in all competitions, although they face tougher tests in the weeks to come with fixtures against Dortmund, Wolves and Arsenal.

Gets beaten twice versus West Ham Pope made one save and conceded two goals during Sunday's 2-2 draw against West Ham.

Impact Pope wasn't at fault for either goal allowed but the fact that he could only make one save and couldn't salvage any fantasy value here is that left those who picked him for fantasy teams disappointed. However, the goalkeeper was coming off three straight EPL clean sheets so most will probably trust he'll get back to his shot-stopping ways after the international break.

Concedes to PSG Pope registered one save and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 4-1 victory versus Paris Saint-Germain. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 87th minute.

OCTOBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Another clean sheet Pope made two saves and kept a clean sheet in Saturday's 2-0 win against Burnley.

Impact Pope only had to make two saves to keep his fourth consecutive clean sheet (in all competitions). He did well to tip over a late header to preserve Newcastle's two goal cushion, but had an otherwise quiet afternoon as his side coasted to a third consecutive victory. The keeper next faces PSG in the Champion's League before Sunday's trip to West Ham.

Keeps clean sheet in rout Pope registered one save and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 8-0 win versus Sheffield United.

Impact Pope had a pretty quiet outing and wasn't tested at all during Newcastle's impressive win on the road. The goalkeeper logged his third straight clean sheet. He will look to keep the momentum against Burnley on Saturday.

Keeps clean sheet against Milan Pope made eight saves, three clearances, and two punches and secured a clean sheet in Tuesday's 0-0 draw against AC Milan.

Impact Pope was highly instrumental in the result as he batted away several dangerous attempts on goal, keeping his second consecutive clean sheet of the season and posting a new season high in saves. He has given up seven goals and made 24 saves so far. Newcastle will visit Sheffield United Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

First clean sheet Pope made two saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 1-0 win versus Brentford.

Concedes three goals Pope conceded three goals and made four saves in Saturday's 3-1 loss at Brighton.

Impact Pope will have been disappointed that he could only parry Billy Gilmour's shot into the path of Evan Ferguson for the opener, though there was nothing the keeper could do about the second and third goals. He has conceded seven in four games so far and will aim for his first clean sheet of the season in the next game against Brentford.
