Sean Longstaff - Fires two shots in loss Longstaff had two shots (one on-target) in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Longstaff was one of Newcastle's more threatening players on Saturday, but that was within the context of a poor overall team performance. His on-target shot was denied a goal only by an acrobatic Neto save. He also had a dangerous shooting effort fly just over the bar. He was bothered by an ankle injury in the second half but continued to finish the game, it might impact his ability to start in Newcastle's next against Chelsea following the international break. From 12 appearances (eight starts) he has scored twice and delivered an assist. It has been seven matches since he last found the net.

Anthony Gordon - Not a threat in loss to Cherries Gordon placed one shot-on-target and executed a cross (not accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 loss to AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Gordon was not impactful on Saturday. He made some attacking runs down the Magpies attacking left flank but did not create any dangerous plays. His one shot-on-target was a pedestrian save for Neto. His performance was in-line with what was a sluggish Newcastle team effort overall. The regular starter has scored four and created two assists, however he has only scored once in his last six matches.

Kieran Trippier - Not impactful in loss to Cherries Trippier recorded six crosses (none accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 2-0 loss against AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Trippier operated in his usual right-back position and took the Magpies set pieces on Saturday. In line with the overall poor Newcastle performance, he was not sharp and did not create or execute any dangerous plays. The regular starter has created six assists (currently second best in EPL), but it has been seven matches since his last.

Nick Pope - Outstanding performance despite loss Pope pulled off eight saves and conceded two goals in Saturday's 2-0 loss to AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Pope made a series of world-class saves that salvaged what could have been a large, humiliating defeat on Saturday. He faced a sharp and aggressive Bournemouth team that demanded he be on his toes when called into action. He was let down by a tired looking Magpies team in front of him. The regular starter has completed 36 saves (3.0 per game, 73 percent), conceded 13 (1.1 per game) and delivered five clean sheets (currently best in EPL).

Miguel Almiron - Suffers injury against Bournemouth Almiron appears to have suffered a muscle strain in Saturday's match against Bournemouth after being taken off the pitch in the 31st minute, per Roberto Rojas of ESPN FC.

Impact Almiron looks to be another name added to Newcastle's long injury list, as he was taken off early into the match in the 31st minute after feeling discomfort in his leg. The injury so far has been reported as a strain, which most likely means the attacker will be held out of Paraguay's final two World Cup qualifiers during the international break and instead will spend it with the doctors back in England. The Magpies will hope for his return after the international break, as fellow teammates Alexander Isak, Callum Wilson, Harvey Barnes and Jacob Murphy are all out in the attack.

Callum Wilson - Ruled out Saturday Wilson is not in the match day squad to face Bournemouth on Saturday.

Impact Wilson misses out on Saturday's match as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury. Miguel Almiron will help lead the line alongside a front three of Joe Willock and Anthony Gordon.

Lewis Miley - Impresses in debut Miley could be in line for an increased role after making his Champions League debut against Dortmund, according to manager Eddie Howe."Lewis is certainly going to have a prominent...

Impact Miley seems set to earn some major minutes, especially heading into a jam-packed December schedule. The young midfielder could be called upon off the bench and even in the starting XI in some cup competitions. With Sandro Tonali suspended and Elliot Anderson (back) out long-term Miley could rotate with Joelinton in the midfield.

Callum Wilson - Facing late tests Wilson (hamstring) will be a true game-time call for Saturday's trip to Bournemouth, according to manager Eddie Howe."Callum has a tight hamstring. We are doing various tests on hi...

Impact Wilson's injury isn't expected to be major but he's still in doubt for Saturday's Premier League clash. With Alexander Isak (groin) still sidelined it would likely fall to Anthony Gordon to lead the line if Wilson isn't deemed fit enough for the starting XI.

NOVEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alexander Isak - On track for after break Isak (groin) is still expected to return after the international break, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Alex is doing well and is working on his fitness levels. We are building u...

Impact Isak is still hoping to make his return immediately after the international break. The forward suffered an aggravation of the same injury that has plagued him all season in his first start back so it seems likely he won't be rushed back until he is fully fit and available.

Matt Targett - Undergoes successful surgery Targett underwent successful hamstring surgery and is set to begin his rehab assignment in the next coming weeks.

Impact Targett is in line to miss at least three months with hamstring surgery. He continues to pick up injuries since last season, playing in just 22 matches since the beginning of the 2022/23 campaign. Valentino Livramento will now be in line for more playing time, especially with Dan Burn (spine) also out long-term.

Nick Pope - Struggles in defeat Pope recorded six saves and allowed two goals in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Pope faced eight shots and stopped six of them during Tuesday's loss. It wasn't a bad performance but he just couldn't keep up with the variety of Dortmund's attacking chances. The other concern was Pope's ankle which seemed to be bothering him in the second half. He was able to play through it, but it could be something to monitor before a Saturday trip to Bournemouth.

Joseph Willock - Returns to starting XI Willock registered one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 2-0 defeat against Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Willock made his first start since coming back from a long-term injury and went 81 minutes in what was a solid showing. With injuries elsewhere in the starting XI it seems like Willock should be set to return a consistent starting role in all competitions. With a busy schedule coming up rotation is possible, though Willock seems to be the top option there, at least for the most important matches in the Champions League and Premier League.

NOVEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fabian Schar - Quiet in loss Schar had two shots (two on goal) in Tuesday's 2-0 defeat against Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Schar did shoot twice which is a nice boon as he looked to add to his single Champions League goal. He also had plenty to do behind the ball but couldn't keep Dortmund out. Schar's performance have made him one of the first names on the team sheet, with a solid floor and a decent chance at clean sheets in what is once again an excellent defensive unit.

Callum Wilson - Comes off with hamstring issue Wilson was forced off with a hamstring issue during Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Dortmund, manager Eddie Howe told reporters.

Impact Wilson's injury is uncertain as Eddie Howe told reporters it was too early to tell if Wilson would be available against Bournemouth on Saturday. If Wilson is ruled out it would be a major concern with Alexander Isak (groin) already on the sideline. Anthony Gordon would be the likely option to take over in the starting XI, as he did during Tuesday's clash.

Lewis Miley - Debuts off bench Miley made his 2023/24 debut off the bench during Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Dortmund.

Impact Miley came off the bench after recovering from an illness and played the final 10 minutes Wednesday. The midfielder isn't expected to play a major role with the senior team, though injuries and a heavy fixture load could see him rotated in off the bench occasionally.

NOVEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lewis Hall - Starts first half Hall got the start and played the first half of Tuesday's clash with Dortmund.

Impact Hall made his full Newcastle debut Tuesday, though he was brought off after a disappointing first half. With Dan Burn (spine) and Matt Targett (hamstring) out for multiple months it will likely be Hall and Valentino Livramento splitting duties at left-back across all competitions.

NOVEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lewis Miley - Returns to bench Miley (illness) is on the bench for Tuesday's UCL clash against Dortmund.

Impact Miley returned a little sooner than expected, already being on the bench for Tuesday's UCL match. He most likely won't see much time this season despite healing from his knock, as he is yet to record a minute of play this season and seems to be stuck in a bench role.
