Lewis Miley - Back in training Miley (back) is back in training and nearing a return, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Lewis has been back training during the break. He has looked really good - he looks like he...

Impact Miley is back in training and could return in the coming weeks. The midfielder has faced an extended spell on the sideline due to this lingering back issue. With Sandro Tonali back available, there is going to be stiff competition for Miley to earn minutes moving forward.

Kieran Trippier - Set for weeks out Trippier (hamstring) will be out for multiple weeks, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Kieran has picked up a hamstring problem, probably nothing too serious, but it will keep him...

Impact Trippier is set to miss multiple matches during one of the most important parts of the season. The right-back is a tough loss, especially after he earned the starting job back before the break. Valentino Livramento figures to return to the starting XI, a second chance for the right-back who played his way out of the starting job earlier in the season.

Callum Wilson - Won't be rushed Wilson (back) is nearing a return, but won't be rushed back, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Callum has also trained, but with Callum we will continue to assess it day-by-day. We...

Impact Wilson has struggled with injuries over the last season, and now as he nears a return Newcastle is being careful to get him fully fit. The striker would be a bench option even when fully fit, as Alexander Isak (toe) is in contention as well. Wilson has yet to appear in the Premier League.

Alexander Isak - In contention Isak (toe) is in contention for Saturday's clash with Brighton, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Alex has trained and trained well - he trained at the start of this week and looke...

Impact Isak was ruled out before the break due to a toe injury, and is now straight back in contention. When fit he's the clear top option in the starting XI. If Isak starts it would likely shift Anthony Gordon back to the wing, with Harvey Barnes potentially falling to the bench.

Lewis Miley - Resumes light training Miley (back) was spotted in limited training Wednesday, Newcastle announced.

Impact Miley continues to work back from a long-term back injury, and is slowly ramping his fitness up. The midfielder likely remains weeks away from a return, though there's no definite timeline for his recovery. With Sandro Tonali back from suspension, Miley's loss has been less notable, though he figures to take some role when fit once more.

Kieran Trippier - Doubtful to return in October Trippier (hamstring) is out for Saturday's match against Brighton and is doubtful to return before November, according to Chris Waugh of The Athletic.

Impact Trippier looks to be heading to the sidelines longer than initially thought, as he is now in doubt to return in October following his injury against Everton before the international break. He is still undergoing assessment from the club's medical staff, as they are hoping it isn't a serious issue that forces him out for long. However, the club appears to be taking the situation cautiously, not wanting to risk the defender with a loaded schedule this season.

Dan Burn - Consistent centrally Burn has shifted back to center-back after spending most of last season at left-back.

Impact Burn has started and played every minute at center-back, with Lewis Hall and Lloyd Kelly instead taking over at left-back. The defender obviously has less upside offensively while playing centrally, but he has been busy defensively. He's also earned two clean sheets in the opening seven matches.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Lloyd Kelly - Limited in Newcastle Kelly has made three starts before the international break.

Impact Kelly signed with Newcastle as a depth option at left-back, and he's fulfilled that role nicely. That said, with Dan Burn fit and Lewis Hall earning more chances, Kelly has been left on the bench for the final two matches before the break. With a busy schedule coming up, Kelly will see chances, but he will likely remain the backup.

Miguel Almiron - 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.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Sean Longstaff - Drops to bench Longstaff has been on the bench for the final three Premier League matches before the October international break.

Impact Longstaff opened the season as a starter, and spent most of last season as a starter as well. He's now fallen to the bench with Sandro Tonali back from his betting suspension. The midfielder will likely remain a bench option available for rotation, with starts if Bruno Guimaraes or Sandro Tonali are sidelined.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Tino Livramento - Failed to take top job Livramento started the first four Premier League matches but failed to impress, as he fell to the bench in the last three.

Impact Livramento opened the season as the starter, but four poor performances in a row sent him to the bench, with Kieran Trippier coming back into the starting XI. Livramento likely still has a future with the club, but he clearly wasn't ready to be the everyday starter at right-back.

Alexander Isak - Could return following break Isak (toe) is eyeing a return following the international break, according to manager Eddie Howe, per Lee Ryder of Chronicle Live.

Impact Isak could be seeing a return after the break, although it will depend on his evolution. He hopes to return to training over the next two weeks of the break, with that needing to be done before a return is thought of. That said, he will hope to be an option to face Brighton on Oct. 19, likely coming down to a late fitness test.

Callum Wilson - Eyeing Brighton return Wilson (back) is eyeing a return against Brighton on Oct. 19, according to manager Eddie Howe, per Lee Ryder of Chronicle Live. "We'll be delighted to get them back if we can. Ther...

Impact Wilson could be making his first appearance in six months following the international break, as the forward is looking to return against Brighton. However, this is not yet confirmed, likely coming down to a late fitness test. Either way, this is positive news, as he should be likely to return before the start of November.

Sven Botman - Ramping up fitness Botman is beginning to ramp up his fitness, according to manager Eddie Howe, per Lee Ryder of Chronicle Live. "I think he's progressing as we'd expect. I don't think we expect to s...

Impact Botman is seeing a rise in fitness, with the defender having been posting positive updates to his social media recently. However, he will still remain out for some time, with the clbu still expecteing a return in December. Either way, this is great news, as he has yet to debut this season due to a torn ACL sufferd in March 2023.

Joelinton - Takes four shots in draw Joelinton had four shots (zero on goal) and three chances created in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Everton.

Impact Joelinton had a good offensive performance and led Newcastle in shots and chances created with season-highs in both. The midfielder also made the second-most tackles to help on defense. He started in all their seven games so far, scoring once.

Fabian Schar - Picks up yellow card in draw Schar recorded two tackles (zero won) and one interception in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Everton. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 93rd minute.

Impact Schar did not miss any games after recovering from an ankle injury and logged his fifth start in the season. The centerback made two tackles to help Newcastle keep the clean sheet and earn the road draw. He also received his second yellow card in a row, though.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Sandro Tonali - Two shots after injury Tonali generated two shots (zero on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Everton.

Impact Tonali did not miss any time after recovering from a knock suffered during EFL Cup win over Wimbledon. The midfielder had a quiet all-around performance stat-wise, though. That was his second start in a row in Premier League play, after three appearances off bench.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Kieran Trippier - Sends in five crosses at Everton Trippier was injured and subbed out in the 71st minute of Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Everton. He registered five crosses (three accurate) and five corners before exiting the match.

Impact Trippier sent in the second-most crosses for Newcastle during the road draw. The right-back also took five of their 10 corner kicks in the match. He subbed off in the 71st minute with an undisclosed injury and will now look to recover during international break.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Nick Pope - Keeps clean sheet on the road Pope registered two saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Everton.

Impact Pope registered his second clean sheet in the season to help Newcastle earn one point on the road. The goalkeeper's two saves were his lowest number in the season so far, though. He will now face Brighton at home on Oct 19.

Fabian Schar - Starting Saturday Schar (ankle) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Everton.

Impact Schar is back in the starting XI for Saturday's clash, as expected, after his injury wasn't deemed serious. The defender has been a key piece of the starting XI, and would have been a major loss for Saturday's clash if ruled out.

Impact Dubravka came off with a knee knock against Wimbledon, but is now set to return Saturday. He should be back on the bench with Nick Pope expected to get back in the starting XI for Saturday's trip to Everton.
