Martin Dubravka - 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.

Martin Dubravka - 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.

Martin Dubravka - 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.

Miguel Almiron - Suffers mild injury Almiron suffered a mild strain to his hamstring and will miss Paraguay's next Copa America match.

Impact This is a great update for Almiron, as he escapes a major injury to his hamstring. While he won't take part in Paraguay's next match, he may only need a few days on the sidelines, meaning his return for the Newcastle preseason shouldn't hit any bumps.

Miguel Almiron - Injures hamstring in Copa America Almiron injured his hamstring in Monday's Copa America match and could be out the rest of the tournament.

Impact Almiron had been a regular for Paraguay in the tournament, but this injury was likely a result from overuse. He started 28 matches this past season for Newcastle and then moved south for Copa America. The hope is that it's not a severe hamstring injury that requires surgery, as that would push his return to around the beginning of the new campaign.

Martin Dubravka - 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.

Martin Dubravka - 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.

Emil Krafth - Plays 15 minutes against Spain Krafth played 15 minutes off the bench for the injured Mikael Lustig in Monday's draw against Spain.

Impact Krafth came in at left-back and could be given the start Friday against Slovakia if Lustig isn't recovered. Krafth spent a lot of this past season playing in a back three for Newcastle, but he can be viable in the right matchup on the flank.

Ryan Fraser - Sends in three crosses as sub Fraser played 23 minutes during Monday's 2-0 loss to Czech Republic, taking one off-target shot and sending in three inaccurate crosses.

Impact Fraser subbed on for Stuart Armstrong in the 67th minute, with his side trailing 2-0, and couldn't help them avoid the loss during his limited time in the field. The midfielder will now look to start when they face England on Friday.

Martin Dubravka - Records two clearances Dubravka recorded two saves and two clearances despite conceding one goal during a 2-1 win Monday against Poland.

Impact Despite missing the final two months of the season, Fraser played with his national team just two weeks after the final Newcastle game. If all is well, he'll likely move into Scotland's starting XI, but given his limited playing time, fitness may be an issue.

Allan Saint-Maximin - Loses two months of season Saint-Maximin scored three goals and provided four assists in 25 appearances (19 starts) during the 2020/21 season.

Impact Saint-Maximin was one of a few victims of long COVID-19 that plagued Newcastle in December and lost two months of the season in total along with another injury in March. His dribbling ability is still unrivaled by anyone on his club and across much of the league, so if Saint-Maximin can stay fit, doubling his goal contributions in a season shouldn't be out of the question. However, his club's recent struggles to stay consistent for more than a few weeks at a time could make him difficult to rely on in fantasy given his own struggles to take his output to the next level.

JUNE 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jacob Murphy - Has decent season Murphy scored two goals and provided three assists in 26 appearances (17 starts) during the 2020/21 season.

Impact Murphy returned to Newcastle after a nine-goal season in the Championship for Sheffield Wednesday but it was unlikely he'd have the same level of production in one of the worst offensive teams in the EPL. He still performed better than his last full season in the Premier League in 2017/18, so Murphy is on the right track to making at least 30 league appearances in a season and becoming a useful utility player in fantasy for his role as a right-wing-back or right-midfielder.
