Sean Longstaff - Page 3 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Doubt for Monday Longstaff (foot) hasn't trained and will be a doubt for Monday's match against Leicester City, according to manager Eddie Howe.

Impact It's hard to see Longstaff playing Monday, but he does have a couple days to get back in training following quotes from Howe after Thursday's match. With Joe Willock out, Newcastle will be pressed for midfield options in their couple matches. Still, Longstaff has been out three weeks and pushing him back in the squad probably isn't the best idea.

Impact Longstaff's foot scan apparently went well, as he's getting better and still hasn't been ruled out the rest of the season. There's only 10 days until the season finale, so while he could return to training soon, that doesn't mean he'll be back in the starting XI. Joelinton will continue to start in that midfield role with everyone but Jacob Murphy healthy in the squad, at least for the regulars.

Impact It seems like a longshot that Longstaff will play again this season, but there's a chance he'll be ready for the final match or two.

Seeing specialist for foot Longstaff will see a foot specialist before determining if he can return this season, according to manager Eddie Howe. "I won't go into the technicalities, but whereas we thought i...

Impact Longstaff is in a race to be fit before the end of the season, as he hasn't been training and things aren't getting better. With four matches to go, Newcastle could be a bit limited in their midfield, as depth isn't their strong suit. Fortunately for them, Joelinton can play almost every position and he'll be alongside Bruin Guimaraes and Joe Willock the rest of the way if needed.

Impact Longstaff has been out the last week with this injury and is unlikely to make an immediate return to the XI when he isn't completely fit or healthy. At best, he'll provide support from the bench with Joelinton again likely moving back to the midfield with Bruno Guimaraes and Joe Willock. The hope for Longstaff is just to be available, as his absence last match was his first of the season.

Impact Longstaff has seen a dip in playing time in recent matches, partly because of a busy schedule and possibly because of this foot issue. If he can return to training this week, he should be an option for the starting XI Sunday against Arsenal. If not, Joelinton is capable of playing the central midfield role where Longstaff has been the majority of the season.

Staying with Newcastle Longstaff signed a three-year deal with Newcastle, keeping him at the club until at least 2025.

It's interesting to see what his future holds at Newcastle after making 15 starts each of the past two seasons, as the club is expected to sign a few players in the offseason. Unless he shows massive improvement at 24, it's hard to see him having a bigger role in future seasons.
