William Osula - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Not yet spotted in team training Osula (foot) was not spotted in team training yet, according to Craig Hope of the Daily Mail.

Impact Osula had recently come out of his boot and become mobile again after the foot injury that sidelined him to begin the season, with a mid-October return targeted at the time. His continued absence from full training suggests that timeline has not yet been reached, and his recovery will continue to be monitored as Newcastle awaits his return to the group. Yoane Wissa and Matias Fernandez-Pardo are expected to keep increased playing time until he returns to full speed.

Targeting mid-October return Osula (foot) is out of a boot and mobile again as he eyes a mid-October return, according to Craig Hope of the Daily Mail.

Impact Osula has received an update on his status after a foot injury took place to begin his season, as the forward is out of a boot and mobile again. This will leave him eyeing a return come the middle of October, using the September break to give him time to heal. This will be a major return for the club once fit, adding some depth back at forward as Osula, Yoane Wissa and Matias Fernandez-Pardo battle for time in that position.

Could return earlier than anticipated Osula (foot) was expected to be sidelined for an extended period, but manager Matthias Jaissle downplayed that initial report, and the absence could be a matter of weeks, not month...

Impact A report from Danish outlet Viaplay suggested Osula could be in line to miss multiple months, but based on Jaissle's comments, it seems that won't be the case in the end. Osula will miss time, but there could be an outside chance he returns before the international break -- and if not, he should do so right after the break.

Facing lengthy absence Osula (foot) is expected to be sidelined for an extended period after suffering an injury during Newcastle's season-opening draw against Liverpool, according to Sport Witness.

Impact Osula picked up the foot injury against Liverpool but initially played through the issue before being replaced in the 56th minute, having provided an assist earlier in the match. The striker has since been wearing a splint and missed Newcastle's win over Tottenham. With no clear return date and reports indicating a lengthy absence, Osula is uncertain to return for Newcastle United before the upcoming international break. Yoane Wissa and Matias Fernandez-Pardo should handle most of the minutes at center-forward during his absence.

Return timeline awaits assessment Osula (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's clash against Tottenham and is expected to remain sidelined for at least two weeks as he prepares to see a specialist regarding his injury,...

Impact Osula will miss a second consecutive match after also sitting out Wednesday's Carabao Cup clash against West Brom. The forward is expected to be sidelined for at least two weeks, though a clearer timetable for his return should emerge following his assessment with a specialist. Nick Woltemade is expected to lead the line while Osula remains unavailable.

Missing Wednesday Osula (undisclosed) is out for Wednesday's Carabao Cup match against West Brom.

Impact Osula has had his injury played down, but is still not being risked for early Carabao Cup action, as the forward was left off the team sheet completely. That said, he could still miss further time as they take an injury cautiously to begin the season, not wanting to risk a further setback. The hope remains that a quick turnaround takes place, as he is set for a starting forward role with the team when fit.

Injury appears minor Osula (undisclosed) is not believed to have suffered a serious injury during Saturday's 2-2 draw against Liverpool, according to coach Matthias Jaissle, per The Northern Echo. "Hop...

Impact Osula picked up the issue following an early collision with Virgil van Dijk and was eventually forced off in the 55th minute after attempting to play through the discomfort. Initial signs are encouraging, though the striker will undergo further assessment to determine the extent of the injury. Osula is likely to miss Wednesday's Carabao Cup clash against West Brom, but the issue is not currently expected to result in a lengthy absence.

Earns assist, comes off limping Osula recorded an assist before exiting the field while limping in Sunday's match against Liverpool.

Impact Osula would help Newcastle get off to a flying start to the season, as the forward found Anthony Elanga for a goal in the opening minutes. However, later on in the first half, he would have a bizarre sequence of two mishit strikes at goal, appearing to pull up in pain following the play. From then on, he was not the same, hobbling and limping around the pitch for another 30 minutes. He would then come off in the second half limping, just 10 minutes after halftime, causing some concern. The fact that he was not initially subbed out would lead this to only be a minor injury, although they will still monitor his status this week.

Features in offseason Osula (groin) started and played 45 minutes during Saturday's friendly clash against Valencia.

Impact Osula's comeback from a minor injury boosts his side's depth at the striker position, with the forward expected to be part of a rotation with Yoane Wissa and Nick Woltemade, although he played alongside the latter during the last friendly game. Despite some moments of inconsistency, the former Sheffield United man had finished the 2025/26 season in good form, scoring five goals over his last seven starts.

Impact Osula's absence isn't considered serious, and the Denmark international is expected to have plenty of time to impress as preseason continues given the minor nature of the issue. The forward brings pace and physical presence to the frontline, qualities Newcastle United will want to see on full display once he returns to full training. He is expected to be back involved in the near term as preseason progresses.

Impact Osula took three shots during Sunday's win, putting two on goal, and two in the goal. The forward was good throughout the match and was exceptionally efficient every time he had a sight of goal. It's a brilliant showing and a nice three points in what could have been a tough match against a surging Hammers side.

Scores opener Osula scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 victory versus Brighton.

Impact Osula gave his side the lead in Saturday's 3-1 win over Brighton, converting Jacob Murphy's low cross from the right with a header at the back post in the first half after Bart Verbruggen failed to command his area, giving the hosts a goal that came against the run of play but proved to be the turning point of the match. The Danish forward was replaced in the second half as coach Eddie Howe made changes to manage the game, finishing with one goal, one key pass and four shots during his time on the pitch. Osula has now scored five Premier League goals this season across 21 appearances and has started four consecutive matches, scoring three times during that span.

Impact Osula scored once Sunday, a nice finish on his two shots on goal. The forward made the most of his chances, but it wasn't enough to secure all three points. The forward doesn't get too many chances, but when he does he has some upside. Osula will hope to keep this goalscoring form going in the back half of the campaign.
