Impact Mukiele remains unavailable for Saturday's clash against Brighton due to a calf injury that has already forced him to miss the last three matches. The versatile defender, capable of playing both center-back and full-back, has been an important piece in the back line, so his continued absence is a significant blow for the side. He has started all 25 Premier League matches he has appeared in this season, with Lutsharel Geertruida expected to start at right-back in his place.

Impact Mukiele is seeing progress this week but has yet to take the training field, with the defender likely to run to begin next week. This would then warrant a return soon, needing to be boosted to team training before he is thought to be an option for either Brighton or Newcastle. He has only missed two games so far, trying to gain back another versatile option in the defense.

Impact Mukiele is expected to miss two to three weeks due to a leg injury sustained in the last match against Fulham and will be evaluated on a day-to-day basis to monitor his response to treatment. Mukiele is an undisputed starter for his side, having started the last 27 matches, and his absence is likely to be felt. Lutsharel Geertruida is expected to take on a larger role until his return.

Off after 12 minutes Mukiele was forced off in the 12th minute of Sunday's match against Fulham due to an apparent leg injury.

Impact Mukiele went down just eight minutes into Sunday's match and would be taken off the field minutes later, suffering an off-ball injury that saw him clutching his leg after. That said, the immediate look doesn't seem positive for the defender, as a noncontact injury could mean a longer time out with a muscle issue. This does leave a gap in the defense, with Lutsharel Geetruida, who replaced him Sunday, a potential replacement moving forward.
