Fabian Schar - Spotted with arm in sling Schar was viewed walking off the pitch in slight discomfort, using his shirt as a sling following the club's 2-2 draw against Bournemouth, Craig Hope of The Daily Mail reported.

Impact Schar looks to be another name to add to the Magpie's ever-growing injury report, walking off the pitch with his arm in a sling just one week after Callum Wilson exited the field in the same manner. The club will hope not to lose the center back for an extended period, as he has been a regular starter all season, having not missed a single start, and the defense is the only place that the club has all of their normal starters healthy. We will now undergo tests with the medical team to determine his fitness, looking for the best possible outcome as he attempts to avoid missing his first contest of the season.

Matt Targett - Set to train in 7-10 days Targett (hamstring) is expected to return to training "within the next ten days", confirmed manager Eddie Howe.

Impact Targett has been out of action since November after undergoing hamstring surgery. If the defender is able to train with no issues, he could be in line for a come back on Mar 2 versus the Wolves. Prior to his injury, Targett had only started once in three appearances, having only been a bench option for the team.

Joseph Willock - Making progress Willock (Achilles) is recovering well, but is still not expected to be an option for Saturday's match versus Bournemouth, per manager Eddie Howe. "Joe is very close too, he is knoc...

Impact Willock still needs to return to full team training before being an option for the team again. He has not seen any action since Nov 11 with an Achilles injury. If everything turns out well, the midfielder could return to training by next week, making him an option for either Feb 24 against Arsenal, or Mar 3 versus the Wolves.

Alexander Isak - Will not play Saturday Isak (groin) will not be an option for Saturday's match against Bournemouth, confirmed manager Eddie Howe. "Alex is probably not ready for the weekend, but he is very close and loo...

Impact Isak will miss his third match in a row with a groin injury. With Callum Wilson now out long-term, Anthony Gordon will take over at forward while Harvey Barnes is set to take the place at left wing for the time being.

Callum Wilson - Set for surgery Wilson (pectoral) is set to miss the next nine to twelve weeks of action as he undergoes surgery on a torn pectoral tendon, Craig Hope of The Daily Mail reported.

Impact The recent developments on Wilson's status are negative for all parties involved, with the club and player both being heavily affected by his extended absence. The club will now be without the only two true strikers they have on the team, as Alexander Isak is also out due to a groin injury for at least another week, leaving the club limited up top even when Isak does return. As for Wilson, he is now in jeopardy of missing England's Euro matches if he doesn't return by the end of the season while also possibly having played his last contest in the black and white with only 15 months left on his contract and a possible transfer out looming once the summer hits. The English forward will now not be expected back on the field until at least May if he returns at all, with Isak and Anthony Gordon starting at forward in his absence.

Emil Krafth - Extends stay with Newcastle Krafth has signed a one-year contract extension to remain with Newcastle, the club announced Wednesday.

Impact Krafth has been with the club over the past five seasons and will remain there for a further season after inking a new deal until 2025 Wednesday. The defender has appeared in 73 contests since joining the club, bagging a rare one goal and two assists across his tenure with the team. He has served in more of a rotational role over the past two seasons and will most likely remain in that role moving into next season after not starting all of this season, as Steve Botman and Fabian Schar have a firm grip on the starting spot in the middle of the defense.

Callum Wilson - Questionable for Bournemouth match Wilson (pectoral) is in question for Saturday's match against Bournemouth after suffering a pectoral injury against Nottingham Forest in the club's most recent contest, according t...

Impact Wilson's injury was not thought to be too serious to begin with but now seems to be somewhat of an issue, as he is in question for the club's upcoming match against Bournemouth. The player will hope to avoid being shelved, as his season has been heavily hindered due to his contact problems with injury. The club will also look for the player to be on the team sheet, with their only other striker, Alexander Isak, out due to groin complications. If Wilson is fit to face Bournemouth, he will most likely get in the starting XI, but if he is not an option, expect to Anthony Gordon to move to striker while Harvey Barnes fills his spot on the wing.

Kieran Trippier - Another attacking return Trippier registered an assist and delivered seven crosses (three accurate) in Saturday's 3-2 win against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Trippier's form had dipped around the turn of the year, but the right-back is back to his best with three assists and one goal in his last three. He now has an impressive ten assists for the season and looks set to beat Leighton Baines' record for the most assists in a Premier League season by a defender (11).

Sven Botman - Assists in win Botman registered an assist in Saturday's 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest.

Impact Botman linked up with fellow centre-back Fabien Schar, heading a long ball down for his teammate to score Newcastles second. Botman, who had his season interrupted by a knee injury, is a mainstay in the Newcastle defense when fit.

Fabian Schar - Scores again Schar scored once from two shots (both on target) in Saturday's 3-2 win against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Having previously scored just once all season, Schar now has three in as many games following his brace against Aston Villa. The centre-back has started every game this season, though he is part of a defense that has looked vulnerable in recent weeks with 10 conceded in their last four.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Bruno Guimaraes - Hits brace Bruno Guimaraes scored with both of his shots at goal in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest.

Impact Bruno Guimaraes put in perhaps his best performance in a Newcastle shirt, scoring two fine goals and earning his team the three points. The central-midfielder is not a renowned goal-scorer, but he took both of his chances in clinical fashion and now has three for the season. His brace puts him two goals off his personal best of five, set in 2021/2022.

Martin Dubravka - Concedes twice Dubravka conceded twice and made one save in Saturday's 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest.

Impact Dubravka was a spectator for long periods of the game, facing only three shots on target. He was powerless to stop Anthony Elanga's smart finish and was unfortunate to see Callum Hudson-Odoi's effort take a huge deflection for the second. Dubravka's run in the starting XI looks set to continue for at least another month, with first-choice keeper Nick Pope not expected back until mid-March. He next comes up against 13th-placed Bournemouth on Saturday.

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.
