Picks up hamstring injury Murphy was held out of Wednesday's 2-0 Carabao Cup win over Chelsea due to a hamstring injury, according to manager Eddie Howe.
Impact Murphy is set for some time on the sidelines due to his injuries, although it doesn't appear to be long, with the club already deeming the issue non-serious. Either way, he is likely to miss out against Arsenal on Saturday as well, likely seeing a late fitness ahead of the match to decide his availability and going into the contest as doubtful. He has started in six of their matches thus far, so this will force a change, with Miguel Almiron and Harvey Barnes likely to see more time if Murphy continues on the sidelines.

He kept up the attack and assisted on the winning play by setting up Alexander Isak with a tap-in goal in the 78th minute. This marked Murphy's second straight game with a chance created, while he also picked up his first shot on target and accurate cross of the season.
SEPTEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Murphy continued his red-hot end of campaign, this time slotting home a pass from the left to double his side's lead in the 36th minute. With one goal and four assists over his last five starts, the winger will hope to be free of injuries next season so as he can replicate what he showed since his reinsertion in the starting XI back in February.

Nine crosses in win Murphy delivered nine crosses (one accurate) in Saturday's 4-3 win against West Ham.
Impact Murphy attempted more than twice the amount of crosses than any other player and was unlucky to come away without an assist after creating five goal-scoring opportunities. Murphy has struggled to nail down a place in the starting XI, though he could see increased minutes should Miguel Almiron's knee injury prove to be serious.

60 minutes in Cup Murphy returned to the starting XI for Tuesday's FA Cup clash with Blackburn Rovers.
Impact Murphy has been on the bench in the last three Premier League matches, but got the start in the FA Cup. The winger failed to get much done and was replaced by Miguel Almiron, who has been the preferred option for the most part. Murphy will likely remain in a depth role moving forward, barring injuries.

Impact Murphy may be heading back to the injury report once again after just returning to play two matches ago following a 13-match spell on the sidelines due to a shoulder issue. The club and player will hope to avoid another period outside of the squad, as they continue to have injury issues pile up just when they thought things were getting better. It looked to be more of a cautious move for the attacker to not play Saturday, and he will not hope to have a decent week of rehabilitation and return to the team sheet to face Bournemouth on Saturday after the injury scare.

Given 75 minutes in FA Cup Murphy (shoulder) made his return to play in Saturday's FA Cup contest against Fulham, registering 75 minutes as a starter in the win.
Impact Murphy is finally back on Newcastle's team sheet after missing the club's past 13 matches due to a shoulder issue. This is a bright spot for Newcastle in times that have recently been pretty tough, as they are finally starting to get some depth back in the team after a string of poor performances and a mountain of players currently sitting on their injury report. He should once again be on the team sheet against Aston Villa on Tuesday, possibly getting the start, with Miguel Almiron currently being questionable due to illness. Either way, his addition to the squad is a mighty improvement for the Magpies, as he is always a decent threat when on the field, having five goal contributions in eight appearances across league and UCL play this season.

Back in training Murphy (shoulder) "has trained and has looked good," according to manager Eddie Howe ahead of Saturday's FA Cup match.
Impact Murphy has been out since early November after needing shoulder surgery. His return would be a nice boost to the side, as Newcastle have been limited to basically three options in the front three for at least the last month. Murphy has just five league appearances this season, but that could change if he can quickly get up to fitness, as he may be the first one off the bench for a couple weeks.

Undergoes should surgery Murphy underwent shoulder surgery and is expected to be out until January, at a minimum.
Impact Murphy suffered the injury in the Nov. 4 win against Arsenal and it'll unfortunately keep him out at least the next two months. The injury crises continues to grow at Newcastle and unfortunately for Murphy, it was nearing the perfect time for him to rack up minutes on the pitch. While being mostly healthy the first few months, he managed just two starts, one in league and one in UCL play.

Injures shoulder again Murphy (shoulder) was taken off in the 80th minute of Saturday's match after reinjuring his shoulder, according to Ben Dinnery of The Athletic.
Impact Murphy was not expected to play in Saturday's match but did feature as a substitute, just to injure his shoulder once again. The attacker was already feared to need surgery after picking up the injury, but that is almost certain after it popped out again during his appearance as a substitute. No final call has been made on the player yet, but it is most likely he will miss significant time as he tries to repair his shoulder.

Impact Murphy suffered a dislocated shoulder during a Champions League clash with Dortmund. He's now set to see a specialist, with a wide range of outcomes available. It's technically an injury he could play through, according to Howe, but it's also possible he ends up undergoing surgery to fully repair the shoulder. Surgery would sideline him for multiple months. With Murphy out Miguel Almiron should be asked to take on major minutes across all competitions.

Impact Murphy opened the season with a shoulder issue, though it's unclear if the two are related. He was coming off his best performance of the season with a goal and two assists against Crystal Palace, but this injury will prevent any kind of bounce in form to happen. His expected absence likely means more time for Miguel Almiron in the starting XI.

Forced off quickly Murphy was forced off after just three minutes on the pitch due to an apparent shoulder injury in Wednesday's clash with Dortmund.
Impact Murphy came on as a second half substitute and was immediately forced off after landing awkwardly on his shoulder. The forward will be an extreme doubt for Saturday's clash to Wolves and depending on the injury Murphy could miss multiple weeks. Joe Willock made his debut for 2023/24 coming off the bench Wednesday.
