Late call for Tuesday Botman (back) is a late call for Tuesday's match against Qarabag, according to manager Eddie Howe. "We hope they'll be involved. We'll see how they are when they wake up tomorrow,...
Impact Botman is looking to make a comeback Tuesday after training to begin the week, with the defender now to be subjected to some testing ahead of the contest. This comes after three games out, having been without a starting defender through that period. The major question heading into the match is how many minutes he will be available for if deemed fit, likely not being risked with a five-goal lead on aggregate.

Impact Botman could be an option for Tuesday's Champions League match against Qarabag after being seen in training Monday, having missed the last three matches across all competitions due to a back injury. The defender is a regular starter, and his potential return could help solidify the back line.

Out to face Manchester City Botman (back) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Manchester City.
Impact Botman remains unavailable for Saturday's matchup against Manchester City due to lingering back issues. The defender has missed the last two matches across all competitions, and his absence remains notable given his importance to the back line when fully fit. Malick Thiaw and Dan Burn start in central defense.

Impact Botman missed the last two matches in all competitions with back issues but he is back in the mix for Saturday's showdown against Manchester City. That is a huge boost for the Magpies because he is a locked-in starter in the heart of the back line whenever he is healthy. Botman now has a real shot to step right back into the starting XI against the Citizens and anchor the defense again.

Set to miss Qarabag first leg Botman (back) will likely be excluded from Wednesday's trip to face Qarabag in UCL action, with coach Eddie Howe commenting "No one else from the missing list, I think, has travell...
Impact Botman is dealing with an issue since the last FA Cup meeting with Aston Villa, and it remains to be seen when he'll return to the field. He's currently likely to sit out the upcoming Champions League clash, where Malick Thiaw and Dan Burn should start at center-back. Botman had previously scored once over seven full-game appearances in 2026.

Impact Botman picked up a minor issue in the clash against Tottenham and was held out of Saturday's FA Cup win over Aston Villa as a precaution and resting reasons. The center-back is trending toward a return for Wednesday's Champions League matchup against Qarabag, though he could still be a late fitness call. If Botman is forced to spend more time on the sidelines, Dan Burn is in line to take on an expanded role in the Magpies' backline.

In addition to his headed effort, Botman led the team defensively with nine clearances.

Struggles in return Botman (thigh) played 90 minutes in Wednesday's EFL Cup loss to Manchester City.
Impact Botman made his comeback from a small injury, confirming he's available for upcoming fixtures. He was included in a back three alongside Malick Thiaw and Dan Burn, although they had a weak outing against the Citizens. Botman made five consecutive starts before suffering the injury, averaging 7.4 clearances, 1.0 interceptions and 1.0 tackles per contest over that span.

Available in Carabao Cup Botman (thigh) is an option for the Carabao Cup second leg against Manchester City on Wednesday, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "Sven is OK."
Impact Botman didn't feature in the last match against Liverpool due to a thigh injury that has since been confirmed as minor, leaving the defender fit and available as an option for Wednesday's Carabao Cup second leg against Manchester City. He had started each of his previous five appearances for the Magpies and is expected to regain his spot for that clash.
FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE
Unused with thigh injury Botman was unused for Saturday's 4-1 loss to Liverpool due to a thigh injury, according to manager Eddie Howe, per Craig Hope of the Daily Mail.
Impact Botman was on the team sheet Saturday but did not play, instead unused due to some injuries. Unfortunately, it appears he will miss time, as he is set to return when facing Manchester City on Feb. 21, missing four games if this is the case. The good news is they just returned Dan Burn to the lineup, with him and Malick Thiaw to start as central defenders with Sven Botman out.
FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Extends with Magpies Botman has extended his contract with Newcastle, according to his club.
Impact Botman is not leaving Newcastle anytime soon, as the defender has inked a new contract until summer 2030. He joined in 2022 and has seen time between the starting XI and bench, mainly losing time due to injuries an issue throughout the defenders career. He is currently seeing starting time but may be relegated back to a rotational spot once the defense is fit, with Malick Thiaw and Dan Burn (ribs) preferred this season.
JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE
Assist in win Botman assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 4-3 victory over Leeds United.
Impact Botman made an impact in what marked this first appearance since November 22, 2025. He entered the match to begin the second half and came up with a critical play by setting up Harvey Barnes for the winning goal late in second half extra time. The assist marked the first of the campaign for Botman, while he moved up to a total of five chances created over his 11 appearances.
JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE
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.

Trains with group Botman (back) is back in team training and on the verge of a return, according to manager Eddie Howe. "He's very close. Sven's been training with the group which has been great, so...
Impact Botman is very close to seeing the field again after a time out with a back injury, as he is back in team training. This should leave him with a return in the next week or two, marking the end of an absence that has lasted since the end of November. He is a starter when fit and the club is low on defenders, so this is huge news, likely to send Fabian Schar back to the bench once fit.

Nearing return, not yet training Botman (back) is nearing a return but hasn't resumed team training yet, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference, according to Craig Hope from the Daily Mail.
Impact Botman still has to resume team training after dealing with a back injury that required injections, but he is not far from making his return to the match squad. The center-back won't be available for Friday's clash against Manchester United, but a return against Burnley on Dec. 30 seems to be a possibility for the Dutch defender.

Not ready to play Botman (back) is making good progress but is not ready to play yet, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "With Sven [Botman], we're not entirely sure when he'll return. H...
Impact Botman has made good progress following his injection to treat a back injury but isn't fit yet to play. The center-back doesn't have a specific timeline to return but is still expected to play before the end of the year. That said, Fabian Schar is expected to see a starting role for the Magpies with Botman not there yet and Dan Burn (ribs) sidelined until late January.

Impact Botman remains sidelined with a back injury since he received an injection after seeing a back specialist, and that treatment needs about a week to work. This will likely leave him out for the midweek clash against Leverkusen in the Champions League and a doubt for next week's clash against Sunderland on Sunday. That said, the center-back was only a bench option in the last two games, with Dan Burn taking back his role in central defense.

Impact Botman missed Saturday's clash against the Toffees due to a back injury and will see a specialist in the coming days to know the extend of that issue. This will rule him out for Tuesday's clash against Tottenham, with his next chance to feature coming against Burnley on Saturday. Fabian Schar is expected to see a greater role in the backline of the Magpies while he is sidelined.
