Miguel Almiron - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Hardly playing Almiron totaled just 30 minutes on the pitch before the October international break.

Impact Almiron barely saw the field before the October international break, playing just 30 total minutes. The winger has truly fallen out of favor, with Jacob Murphy and Harvey Barnes taking on larger roles in the starting XI. Barring injuries, Almiron's time as a major contributor in Newcastle seem to be over.

JUNE 29 • FOX SPORTS

Quiet season with Magpies Almiron scored three goals and recorded one assist in 33 appearances (23 starts) this past season.

Impact Just a season after scoring 11 goals in the Premier League, Almiron came back down to earth with four goal contributions in 33 matches. He started 23 of the first 28 matches at right wing but lost his spot to Jacob Murphy after missing five matches with a knee injury. His place in the team moving forward is in question with the breakout of Murphy, in addition to any possible signings the club brings in during the summer.

Gets time as substitute Almiron registered 13 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 4-1 win against Burnley.

Impact Almiron was back with the team Saturday after around a month on the sidelines due to a knee problem. He earned 13 minutes off the bench to test his legs, although he didn't register a single significant stat. He will likely remain on the bench for most, if not all, of the club's final three matches of the season, as he has only started once in his past six appearances on the team sheet. However, he was a regular starter at one point, so we may see him return to that role, sharing time with Harvey Barnes and Jacob Murphy.

MAY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Among substitutes Saturday Almiron (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's trip to Burnley.

Impact Almiron returns for the first time in five matches after recovering from a knee injury. The attacker has started just once since February.

MAY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Uncertain Saturday Almiron (knee) is back in training ahead of Saturday's trip to Burnley, according to manager Eddie Howe. "We've had Miggy and Joelinton return to training this week, their first s...

Impact Almiron is finally back in training , though coming off a knee injury and having made just a couple appearances in training there's some heavy doubt if he'll be available Saturday. Getting the winger back would be a major boon, though at this point it's not clear what role he will play in the remainder of the season.

MAY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Spotted in training Almiron (knee) was spotted in training Wednesday, ahead of Saturday's trip to Burnley.

Impact Almiron is back in training, and appears on track to return before the end of the Premier League season. The winger missed the entirety of April with the knee injury but has four more chances to get back on the pitch in some capacity. Even when fit Almiron was more of a bench option before the injury, starting just once in five matches.

MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Has yet to train Almiron (knee) has yet to train with the team since his injury, as manager Eddie Howe stated, "We hope all four could play [before the end of the season]. Difficult to give a defin...

Impact Almiron looks to still be a decent amount of time away from a return, as he is yet to train with the group, most likely leaving him out for both of the club's matches this week. The attacker will now just hope for a return before the end of the season, although he doesn't even know if that will come to fruition with only five matches left in the season. He will look for a return to team training within the next week and a half, hoping to face Burnley on May 4.

APRIL 23 • ROTOWIRE

Set for days out Almiron (knee) is out for Saturday's trip to Fulham, according to manager Eddie Howe."Miggy, I think on crossing the ball he got his studs caught in the turf and just tweaked his k...

Impact Almiron was originally reported to be out for a month so a few days on the sideline would certainly be a better timeline. Either way he's out against Fulham and with a knee injury there's no guarantee he's back immediately. Harvey Barnes will get more chances in the starting XI with Almiron injured.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Expected for month out Almiron (knee) is expected to miss a month, according to Craig Hope of The Daily Mail.

Impact Almiron will miss at least a month with the knee injury, effectively giving him only two or three more chances to return this season. With Almiron on the sideline Anthony Gordon will take even more responsibility to lead the attack in the coming weeks.

APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE

Out Tuesday Almiron (knee) is out for Tuesday's match against Everton.

Impact Almiron will not be an option after being taken off the field just 11 minutes into their past match against West Ham, as he is still dealing with the knee issue he picked up at that moment. The club has yet to release a timetable for his return, so it is unknown when he will be back, but the club will hope he is fit enough to face Fulham on Saturday.

APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE

Extent of knee injury not known Manager Eddie Howe is uncertain of how serious Almiron's knee injury might be, Scott Wilson of Yahoo Sports reports. "Miggy hurt his knee crossing a ball, but again, I don't know t...

Impact The fact that Almiron was forced to leave the contest just 11 minutes after subbing on is not encouraging, and while further tests will be needed to determine the severity of the injury, his chances of playing Tuesday against Everton should be slim to none.

APRIL 1 • ROTOWIRE

Last just 11 minutes Almiron was forced off in the second half of Saturday's match against West Ham with an injury.

Impact Almiron subbed into the match in the 56th minute, but was forced off after just 11 minutes of action. The full extent of the attacker's injury should be available in the buildup to mid week action against Everton.

MARCH 30 • ROTOWIRE

No on goal efforts in draw Almiron generated four shots (none on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and created a chance in Saturday's 2-2 draw with AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Almiron was successful in winning the ball when engaging in midfield duals Saturday but the striker did not manage to place any shots on goal. He was subbed after 89 minutes for Matt Ritchie. The regular starter is not having a great season, he has not scored since December and has only posted a total of three EPL goals.

FEBRUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Returns Tuesday Almiron (illness) came off the bench in the first half of Tuesday's clash with Aston Villa.

Impact Almiron was a game-time decision to come back from an illness he was struggling with previously. Almiron may end up being the top choice striker in the Newcastle starting XI as Alexander Isak (undisclosed) limped off and Callum Wilson (calf) remains sidelined.

Facing late fitness test Almiron (illness) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's contest against Aston Villa, as he is facing a late fitness test, according to manager Eddie Howe. "We hope Miggy will...

Impact Almiron is hoping to avoid his first match on the sidelines this season, as he is now questionable for Tuesday's contest due to an illness he picked up over the last week. Newcastle will hope for the player to be healthy for the match, as he has started in all but five games this season, and they are about to take place in a crucial match as the team keeps sliding down the table. He should get the start if healthy, but if he ends up on the sidelines, expect the newly healthy Jacon Murphy to get the start on the right flank of the attack.

Continues as starter Almiron has started in all but five of the club's 27 matches across all competitions this season, registering four goals on 46 shots and one assist on 22 chances created.

Impact Almiron continues to hold the starting spot on the right flank of the attack for Newcastle, now holding that spot for a fourth straight season with the club. His presence on the wing still causes problems for opposing defenders due to his strength and speed on the ball, but he has failed to be as clinical in the final third as last season, only having four goal contributions in league play this season after a Premier League career-high of 13 last campaign. He did go on a hot streak earlier this season, notching three goals in as many matches, but since then, he has only registered one goal and an assist in 18 games played. He will hope to improve on this moving forward as if he can add more scoring that could greatly boost a Newcastle team that seems to be faltering at the moment.

Impact Almiron notched his third Premier League goal of the season in the 64th minute, after not scoring in the previous nine league matches. Aside from his goal, the attacker led the team with five shots taken.
