Matt Ritchie - Out longer term Ritchie (knee) is considered out for the "longer term," according to manager Eddie Howe.

Impact This update is a bit of a change for Ritchie, who was considered a doubt for the team's last match before the break. Things clearly haven't gotten better and it's looking more like he won't be an option until March, at at the earliest. It's also been made clear why they added Matt Targett in the transfer window.

Joelinton - Set for Everton match Joelinton (groin) "has trained and looked good" ahead of Tuesday's match against Everton, according to manager Eddie Howe.

Impact This was expected to be the case for Joelinton following Howe's updates over the international break. Joelinton seems ready to go out of the break and could be back in his usual role in the starting XI, though that role has moved to more of a midfield position in recent matches, limiting his upside.

Callum Wilson - Unlikely until end of season Wilson (calf) isn't expected to be ready in the next month, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Hopefully he can make the last few games of the season and really help us in the key m...

Impact Wilson is recently off crutches, so he still has a long way to go to get back to full health. At this point, there's a decent chance he isn't ready until April, which is making clear why Newcastle pushed for a transfer of Chris Wood before the window ended.

Dan Burn - Picks up toe injury Burn is dealing with a bit of a toe problem and is unlikely for Tuesday's match against Everton, according to manager Eddie Howe. "It's hopefully nothing too serious. He's got an i...

Impact Burn wasn't expected to come in and be a regular for Newcastle right away, but a toe issue definitely delays possible playing time. It's unclear what role he'll have at Newcastle, but there's a chance he takes over at center-back if Howe likes what he sees in training.

Jamal Lewis - Not in final squad Lewis was not listed in the final Newcastle squad for the second half of the season.

Impact It's a massive disappointment for Lewis, who received four starts under Eddie Howe in December and that apparently wasn't enough. Now with both Matt Ritchie and Matt Targett above him on the depth chart, Lewis is left without a role for the second half of the season.

Ciaran Clark - Not in second-half squad Clark was not included in Newcastle's final squad for the second half of the season.

Impact Clark got a couple starts under Eddie Howe, but one of them was when he picked up a straight red card in the ninth minute. It's a weird move for Newcastle, as the center-back has 12 starts this season. The addition of Dan Burn clearly relegated Clark to out of the team, which is unfortunate after the transfer window.

Isaac Hayden - Not listed in second-half squad Hayden wasn't included in the final squad for the second half of the season because of his knee injury.

Impact Hayden never found a role under Eddie Howe and now after some transfers, he won't be an option for the second half of the season despite originally being given a two-month timeline with his injury. It's a tough look for the midfielder, who may no longer have a role at Newcastle despite being a regular each of the last five seasons.

Callum Wilson - Still has no timeline Wilson (calf) still doesn't have a timeline to return, he recently revealed on a BBC podcast.

Impact It's been more than a month since Wilson suffered the original injury, so this update is a bit alarming. He clearly isn't progressing quickly and will likely face another month or two on the sidelines. Fortunately for him, Chris Wood is now on the team so they at least have a striker to take his spot up front.

Sean Longstaff - Substitute against Leeds Longstaff replaced Joelinton (groin) in the 42nd minute of Newcastle's recent 1-0 win over Leeds.

Impact Longstaff finished with two tackles (one successful), two interceptions and a clearance defensively, while he also took an off-target shot in attack. Although Joelinton being injured could bode well for Longstaff's playing time, the January addition of Bruno Guimaraes dramatically enhances the competition within Newcastle's midfield.

Dan Burn - Back at Newcastle Burn has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with Newcastle after completing a move from Brighton.

Impact Burn gives Newcastle another option on their back line and while it's his boyhood club, he isn't the top center-back they were looking for. Burn has 12 starts this season for Brighton, but when everyone was healthy, he was often on the bench. Despite being the new signing, his spot in the side is far from guaranteed.

Matt Targett - Loaned to Newcastle Targett has joined Newcastle on loan for the rest of the season from Aston Villa.

Impact A move for Targett seemed inevitable after he lost his starting gig to Lucas Digne almost immediately. He joins a Newcastle squad that has rotated at left-back all season and figures to immediately come into the XI, having been a regular at Villa the last three seasons.
