Drops to bench Longstaff has been on the bench for the final three Premier League matches before the October international break.

Impact Longstaff opened the season as a starter, and spent most of last season as a starter as well. He's now fallen to the bench with Sandro Tonali back from his betting suspension. The midfielder will likely remain a bench option available for rotation, with starts if Bruno Guimaraes or Sandro Tonali are sidelined.

Productive campaign in midfield Longstaff scored six goals and recorded two assists in 35 appearances (30 starts) this past season.

Impact Longstaff had the best season of his career, highlighted by his six Premier League goals which is more than he had scored in his previous five seasons. He also played an important role in his side keeping nine clean sheets as he contributed 54 tackles, 17 interceptions, 22 clearances and seven blocked shots. The 26-year-old has just one year left on his contract and could see less playing time next season with Sandro Tonali set to return after his 10-month ban.

Assists from corner Longstaff assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Monday's 4-2 defeat versus Liverpool. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 89th minute.

Impact Longstaff's assist came on a corner kick late in the second half as he setup Sven Botman to nod home. In the end the midfielder had a quiet game, but the assist and a role on set-pieces keeps him relevant. There will be easier opponents to look forward to for Longstaff, matches that should give him far more chance to get on the ball and look for passes in the final third.

Plays full match in cup Longstaff played the full 90 during Tuesday's 1-1 (3-2p) loss to Chelsea in the EFL Cup.

Impact Longstaff was busy throughout Tuesday's loss, a good sign that he is back to full fitness. The midfielder also played the full 90 during a 3-0 win over Fulham, so it seems that he is well and truly back. Longstaff will be asked to take on a huge role before the winter break due to injuries and suspensions elsewhere in the midfield.

Impact Longstaff returned to play this weekend versus Tottenham, registering a mere 26 minutes off the bench, where he only recorded one interception and is now in contention to start in Wednesday's match against Milan in the UCL. It wouldn't be a surprise to see the midfielder in the starting XI, as he started a string of 12 matches in a row before encountering the knock, contributing three goals on 15 shots and one assist on eight chances created in that time.

Back after four matches Longstaff (ankle) is available during Sunday's match against Tottenham.

Impact Longstaff returns from an ankle injury which has kept him out of four matches in all competitions. The midfielder takes up a role on the bench, but had carved out a role in the starting XI before the injury.

Impact Longstaff reportedly suffered an ankle injury and while it's never a good injury to pick up it seems that the midfielder may have avoided a serious injury. Longstaff's return is hard to predict during the busy December schedule but the hope would be he can return before the winter break. In the meantime Lewis Miley is likely to see more minutes.

Not ready to face PSG Longstaff didn't travel with the team and won't face PSG on Tuesday, manager Eddie Howe confirmed during his pre-match press conference Monday.

Impact Longstaff failed a fitness test to face Chelsea and wasn't included in the squad to face PSG in a pivotal Champions League match, either, so his next chance to return will come against Manchester United on Saturday. The loss of Longstaff further weakens a midfield zone that is also missing Sandro Tonali (suspension) and Joe Willock (Achilles). Lewis Miley might slot in midfield as a result of the absences.

Fails fitness test Longstaff (ankle) is not in the squad to face Chelsea on Saturday.

Impact Longstaff failed a fitness test and ultimately misses out on Saturday's match with the injury. The midfielder had started 12 straight matches in all competition with Joelinton moving into midfield and Anthony Gordon entering the starting XI in his absence.

Facing late fitness test Longstaff (ankle) will undergo a late fitness test before Saturday's clash with Chelsea, according to manager Eddie Howe. "We will check on Sean (Longstaff) before Saturday."

Impact Longstaff was reportedly a doubt for Saturday's clash and isn't expected to play. There's still a chance he passes the late fitness tests with flying colors but that would be surprising to say the least. The midfielder has taken a major role with Sandro Tonali suspended for 10 months.

Doubtful to face Chelsea Longstaff is dealing with an ankle injury and is considered a doubt to face Chelsea on Nov. 25, Craig Hope of The Daily Mail reports.

Impact Longstaff's ankle is settling quickly but remains a doubt to face Chelsea. The central midfielder has featured in the starting lineup for 12 consecutive matches between the Champions League and the Premier League, and his absence would complicate a Newcastle side that's already missing Sandro Tonali (suspension) and Elliot Anderson (back) as midfield alternatives.

Fires two shots in loss Longstaff had two shots (one on-target) in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Longstaff was one of Newcastle's more threatening players on Saturday, but that was within the context of a poor overall team performance. His on-target shot was denied a goal only by an acrobatic Neto save. He also had a dangerous shooting effort fly just over the bar. He was bothered by an ankle injury in the second half but continued to finish the game, it might impact his ability to start in Newcastle's next against Chelsea following the international break. From 12 appearances (eight starts) he has scored twice and delivered an assist. It has been seven matches since he last found the net.

Impact Longstaff had a decent outing on both ends, bringing his usual tenacity in the middle of the park while also going up the field to finish plays as his three shots were a second-best mark among Newcastle players. After 10 league appearances, Longstaff is on pace to have the best campaign of his career, especially on offense as this is the first time he scores more than once.

Scores again Longstaff scored once from two shots (one on target) in Saturday's 4-0 rout of Crystal Palace.

Impact Longstaff took advantage of a defensive error to score his third goal in six games. The midfielder started the season on the bench but has now started a run of seven games, though there will be increased competition for the three starting places in midfield with Joelinton having returned form injury.
