Alexander Isak - Forced off immediately Isak was forced off with an apparent injury 15 minutes into Wednesday's clash with Dortmund.

Impact Isak was making his first start back from a groin injury and lasted just 15 minutes before being forced off. There's definitely concern that aggravating the same injury could see Isak sidelined for an extended period though more updates will come from Eddie Howe post match. Callum Wilson came on to replace Isak and is in solid form with plenty of ability to lead the line with Isak out.

Elliot Anderson - Missing from squad Anderson was not named to that squad for Wednesday's Champions League matchup with Dortmund.

Impact Anderson had come off the bench versus Crystal Palace on Saturday and now finds himself dropped from the squad with a possible undisclosed injury. Even once cleared to play, the midfielder is far from a lock for the starting XI, having featured in just four of his 11 outings for the club this season. With the quick turnaround, Anderson should probably be considered a doubt heading into Saturday's matchup with Wolverhampton.

Joseph Willock - Named to match-day squad Willock (Achilles) was included in the match-day squad to face Dortmund on Wednesday.

Impact Willock's absence from the starting XI shouldn't come as a surprise given his extended layoff. Still, the midfielder featured in 31 of his 35 appearances for the club last season and should be in contention for a spot on the pitch once back up to full match fitness. For now, fantasy players can likely expect Willock to slowly increase his minutes over the coming matches.

Alexander Isak - Back to full fitness Isak is fully fit and available for Wednesday's clash with Dortmund, according to manager Eddie Howe. "I'm really pleased with where's he at. The West Ham game, his last start for...

Impact Isak is ready to lead the line once more and should be able to get back in the starting XI ahead of Callum Wilson. While Wilson isn't a poor option Isak has been exceptional when on the pitch with six goals in six starts in 2023/24. Isak was able to play 20 minutes during Saturday's 4-0 win over Crystal Palace, and had started all three matches prior to that.

Joseph Willock - Nearing return Willock (Achilles) is still recovering fitness ahead of Wednesday's clash with Dortmund and is nearing a return, according to manager Eddie Howe."Joe Willock is getting closer with...

Impact Willock is nearing a return and is back in team training, but it's a doubt if he has the fitness to be given any minutes during Wednesday's match. Willock suffered a serious setback with this injury once already so there's no sense in rushing him back even if he is deemed fit enough for the bench.

Sven Botman - Set for more weeks out Botman (knee) isn't close to returning, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Sven wasn't close today. I couldn't really say that in the build-up to the game, but he hasn't trained wit...

Impact It's unclear why Howe couldn't tell reporters that Botman hadn't been training, but we'll take his word for it. Botman has already been out the last month with this knee injury and figures to not return before the next international break unless he makes a quicker recovery than Howe expects. Jamaal Lascelles figures to remain in the starting XI next to Fabian Schar while Botman is out.

Kieran Trippier - Another assist Tripper registered one assist from two chances created and attempted nine crosses (four accurate) in Saturday's 4-0 victory over Crystal Palace.

Impact Trippier has managed a remarkable seven assists in his last five games in all competitions. With only nine matches played in the league, he is already just one short of his best ever total of six in a single season (league games only). If he can keep his good form going, he could be on course to break Trent Alexander-Arnold's record of the most assists by a defender in a Premier League season (13).

OCTOBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Anthony Gordon - Nets in win Gordon scored once from two shots (one on target) in Saturday's 4-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Impact Gordon put away his second chance of the game, having earlier hit the bar from a chance that really should have resulted in a goal. The winger has surprised a few people with a good start to his Newcastle career and he now has three for the season, just one short of his personal best.

OCTOBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Callum Wilson - Scores in victory Wilson scored once from two shots (one on target) in Saturday's 4-0 hammering of Crystal Palace.

Impact Wilson put away one of his two chances with the composure we have come to expect from one of the Premier League's most lethal strikers. Alexander Isak has been the preferred option for the majority of games this season and has recovered from his groin injury, which means Wilson could find himself back on the bench for Wednesday's match against Dortmund.

OCTOBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sean Longstaff - Scores again Longstaff scored once from two shots (one on target) in Saturday's 4-0 rout of Crystal Palace.

Impact Longstaff took advantage of a defensive error to score his third goal in six games. The midfielder started the season on the bench but has now started a run of seven games, though there will be increased competition for the three starting places in midfield with Joelinton having returned form injury.

OCTOBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jacob Murphy - Scores and assists in rout Murphy scored once from two shots (both on target) and registered two assists in Saturday's 4-0 victory against Crystal Palace.

Impact Murphy was making only his second start of the season and has given his manager a welcome selection headache after giving what was was surely his best performance in a Newcastle shirt. His goal was expertly taken and he provided to sublime passes for his brace of assists. With the plethora of attacking options available, the attacker is unlikely to start every game, though he will get plenty of playing time if he can maintain this level of performance.

OCTOBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nick Pope - Easy clean sheet Pope made three saves on his way to a clean sheet in Saturday's 4-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Impact Pope did not have to work too hard to pick up his fifth clean sheet of the season as the opposition never truly tested him. The keeper has only conceded three goals in his last seven in all competitions, although they face tougher tests in the weeks to come with fixtures against Dortmund, Wolves and Arsenal.

Alexander Isak - Returns off bench Isak came off the bench for the final 20 minutes of Saturday's 4-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Impact Isak didn't train throughout the break but actually managed to pass the late fitness tests and got an appearance Saturday. It's a great sign for the striker who now has the chance to take his role as the top choice back from Callum Wilson. His first chance to get back in the starting XI is in the Champions League against Dortmund on Wednesday.
