Gets first start of season over break Dubravka started his first match of the season following his return from a foot injury, securing a clean sheet for Slovakia on Sunday.

Impact Dubravka has been on the bench the last two matches for Newcastle and could move back to net following the break. Of course, that's something Eddie Howe will have to decide, but when healthy, Dubravka has been the No. 1 in the team the last few years.

Makes bench Saturday Dubravka is in the match day squad to face Chelsea on Saturday.

Impact Dubravka returns from a foot injury that has kept him out the entire season to this point. The keeper will serve as a backup to Karl Darlow on Saturday but could return in a starting role next weekend.

Sidelined versus Crystal Palace Dubravka (foot) will not be ready for Saturday's clash with Crystal Palace. Caretaker manager Graeme Jones told reporters, "Martin Dubravka has trained but it's too early for him."

Impact Dubravka has yet to get onto the pitch this season as he continues to work his way back from a foot injury. In 13 appearances last year, all starts, the keeper recorded 45 saves and three clean sheets while giving up 19 goals. Once cleared to play, Dubravka should replace Karl Darlow as the preferred choice between the sticks.

Remains unavailable Dubravka (foot) will not be an option against Tottenham on Sunday with manager Steve Bruce telling reporters, "The only ones not available are Dubravka and Paul Dummett (calf)."

Impact Dubravka has yet to get onto the pitch for the club this season with no clear indication of when he might be available. In the meantime, Karl Darlow figures to continue serving as the preferred option between the sticks, though Freddie Woodman could also see some starts.

Still a couple weeks away Dubravka (foot) is back in training but is still a couple weeks away, according to manager Steve Bruce. "We've just got to be patient and see where he's up to but he's just started...

Impact A return after the international break makes the most sense for Dubravka, who has been out since the Euros. The good news for Newcastle is that Karl Darlow returned last match and he'll be set for a couple more starts until Dubravka is ready to start.

Pictured in training Dubravka (foot) was pictured in training Tuesday.

Impact Dubravka appears to be training, but his fitness likely need to be worked on. He hasn't played since the Euros and probably hasn't been working much because of a foot injury. Karl Darlow returned this past match for Newcastle and is expected to start another match or two.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Could return to pitch next week Dubravka (foot) is over his infection and is hoping to be out on the grass next week, according to manager Steve Bruce.

Impact Dubravka has been out for a couple months with this ongoing foot injury. He'll likely need a couple weeks to get back his fitness, which means he'll probably be out until sometime in October, a slightly better timeline than was given last month.

Aiming to return in eight weeks Dubravka (foot) is hoping to return in eight weeks, according to manager Steve Bruce. "With Dubravka, not to set a time limit, but we are hoping in eight weeks maybe. Unfortunately...

Impact It's a brutal timeline for Dubravka, who was originally thought to be ready for the season opener. Instead, it's taking longer than expected with an infection adding to it and there's a chance he won't be ready until November. Until Karl Darlow is ready, Freddie Woodman is expected to continue in net for Newcastle.

Suffers injury setback Dubravka will miss another few weeks because his foot injury has become infected, according to manager Steve Bruce.

Impact This isn't the update fans were looking for and there's no guarantee Dubravka will be ready after the international break. With Karl Darlow still out, Freddie Woodman will continue in net for Newcastle until one of the other guys is ready to go.

Unlikely for season opener Dubravka (foot) confirmed to Sport.SK that he's "highly unlikely" to be available for the Aug. 15 opener against West Ham.

Impact This update aligns with the prior note from the Daily Mail about how Dubravka will likely be out until the end of August. As with any foot injury, it depends on how the player reacts, so he could be ready for the second match or the fifth match of the season, it's unknown at this point until he gets back to training.

Out at least one month Dubravka (foot) is expected to return near the end of August because of a metatarsal fracture, reports the Daily Mail.

Impact This news lines up with the prior report on Dubravka and it doesn't look like he'll be ready for the start of the season. He's the No. 1 for Newcastle when healthy, but another absence will mean starts for either Karl Darlow or Freddie Woodman, depending on the health of the former.

Set for foot surgery Dubravka will undergo foot surgery and is considered a doubt for the start of the season, reports Lee Ryder of The Chronicle.

Impact It's an unfortunate injury for Dubravka, who was last seen allowing five goals to Spain in the Euros. This injury could put Newcastle in the bind at the start of the season, depending on the status of Karl Darlow, who had knee surgery in April. There's still a month to go before the season, but it doesn't seem like Dubravka is ready for a full 38 matches.

Dealing with foot injury Dubravka is dealing with an offseason foot injury and is visiting a specialist to receive further advice, according to Lee Ryder of The Chronicle.

Impact Dubravka is sure to be Newcastle's starter if he's fit when the EPL season begins, but that situation has been put into doubt early into the preseason. If he's unable to play in August, Freddie Woodman could get an opportunity to start at the top level after making over 90 appearances for Swansea City on loan over the last two seasons.

Suffers in loss Dubravka conceded five goals and made six saves during Wednesday's 5-0 loss to Spain.

Impact Dubravka got off to a good start but then punched a shot into his own goal and things went downhill from there. With seven goals conceded in three matches, he'll finish the group stage with one of the worst records against his name, though he still secured a win over Poland.

Concedes penalty chance and goal Dubravka recorded three saves but conceded one goal during a 1-0 loss Thursday against Sweden.

Impact Dubravka fouled Robin Quaison inside the penalty box, which led to an Emil Forsberg penalty goal. The goalkeeper will try to redeem himself against Spain on Wednesday.

Records back-to-back clean sheets Dubravka made zero saves and received one clean sheet in the 2-0 win against Fulham on Sunday.

Impact Dubravka was not tested once in the win Sunday. The keeper has only made one save over his past two appearances and he has recorded two clean sheets in that span. Dubravka has been a solid keeper all season for the Magpies and he has also possessed one of the better floors at his position. He only started playing the second-half of the season and in his 13 appearances he averaged, 3.46 saves and 1.46 goals against per 90 minutes in all competitions.

Should be OK for Sunday Dubravka (hamstring) should be "OK" for Sunday's match against Fulham, but he'll be a late test, according to manager Steve Bruce.

Impact Dubravka battled through a hamstring tweak at the end of Wednesday's match, but it fortunately doesn't sound serious. It looks like he'll tough it out for Sunday's finale, but if he can't, Mark Gillespie would be in line to replace him with Karl Darlow injured.
