Sven Botman - Status for Saturday uncertain Botman (knee) will be a late test for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Sven is improving and the the two weeks have been good for him."

Impact Howe didn't have a massive update on Botman, which usually means he won't be an option. He's been out close to a month with the knee injury and it wouldn't be surprising if he still needed another week to get back to full health. Until that happens, Jamaal Lascelles figures to remain in the starting XI next to Fabian Schar.

Sandro Tonali - Available for selection Tonali has trained with Newcastle this week and is available for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace, according to manager Eddie Howe. "He's very much with us. He trained with...

Impact Until a ban comes down on Tonali, he will be available for Newcastle and that was made evident by Howe. He's started seven matches between league and UCL to open the season and figures to feature plenty in the coming weeks until further news comes out on the betting scandal. In his seven league appearances, he has three shots and seven chances created.

Joseph Willock - Getting closer to return Willock (Achilles) has done some work and is edging closer to a return, according to manager Eddie Howe. "He's trained this week for the first time, back with the group. (It's) pro...

Impact Willock already suffered a setback with his injury, so they're going to take things a little slower than last time. That likely means another week of full training to see how he feels and then it seems like a return to the squad is possible in the coming week, though a spot in the XI will likely take multiple appearances off the bench first.

Alexander Isak - Still not training Isak (groin) has yet to train ahead of Saturday's match against Crystal Palace, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Alex hasn't trained with us yet. We're going to leave it late to s...

Impact It doesn't sound like Isak will be ready to start Saturday unless he makes a miraculous recovery in the next 24 hours despite not training over the break. All signs point to Callum Wilson being back in the XI in what appears to be a great spot for goals, as Crystal Palace have plenty of injury issues of their own.

OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joelinton - Set to return Saturday Joelinton (hamstring) is set to be available for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace, according to manager Eddie Howe. "He's trained well and looked good. He's done a lot of wo...

Impact Joelinton has gotten a couple training sessions in over the break and will be an option Saturday, though it's still unknown where he's at in recovery and how many minutes he'll be ready for. Given his original setback, he'll likely be brought back slowly so a bench appearance seems most likely against Palace and then they'll see how he feels after that match.

Banned Fagioli apologizes for 'naive' betting error, Newcastle giving 'full support' to Tonali

Juventus midfielder Nicolò Fagioli has apologized for a “naive error” but also hit out at newspapers for writing what he described as “rubbish” over his part in a betting scandal

OCTOBER 18, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sandro Tonali - Involved in betting scandal Tonali was questioned for two and a half hours by the Turin's DA office that's looking into an illegal gambling racket Tuesday, Corriere della Sera informed.

Impact Tonali also got in touch with the sports authorities to start collaborating and plea bargain his suspension. He'd risk a three-year ban if found guilty. Nicolo Fagioli was in a similar situation and agreed to a seven-month ban. The process might take a while. It remains to be seen whether Newcastle United will decide to spare him while it's ongoing.

Dan Burn - Signs new contract Burn has signed a new contract with Newcastle that will keep him at the club until the end of the 2024-25 season, the club announced Friday.

Impact Burn has established himself as a key member of Newcastle's defensive line over the last few years, where his tenacity and positional versatility have been very helpful. The left-back, who can also operate as a central defender, has started all 10 matches for the Magpies between the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League, going the full 90 each time and racking up two goals.

Fabian Schar - Logs nine clearances in draw Schar made one tackle, nine clearances and one interception during Sunday's 2-2 draw against West Ham.

Impact Schar had another rock-solid performance at the heart of the defense, posting a season-best mark in clearances and having the edge against opposing forwards all times when called into action. With 15 clearances over his last two starts in all competitions, the center-back is starting to rediscover the form that made him one of EPL's most productive players at his position.

Dan Burn - Takes three shots versus West Ham Burn had three shots (one on target), created one chance, sent in one accurate cross and made three clearances and one interception during Sunday's 2-2 draw against West Ham.

Impact Burn was solid on defense but his biggest impact came on the attacking end as the left-back went up the field every time he was given the chance and even paced his side in shots attempted. With goals in two of the last four matches in all competitions and some nice stat lines on the defensive end, the left-back is emerging as an underrated two-way factor for fantasy purposes.

OCTOBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nick Pope - Gets beaten twice versus West Ham Pope made one save and conceded two goals during Sunday's 2-2 draw against West Ham.

Impact Pope wasn't at fault for either goal allowed but the fact that he could only make one save and couldn't salvage any fantasy value here is that left those who picked him for fantasy teams disappointed. However, the goalkeeper was coming off three straight EPL clean sheets so most will probably trust he'll get back to his shot-stopping ways after the international break.

OCTOBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kieran Trippier - Logs another assist versus West Ham Trippier made an assist, created five chances and sent in seven crosses (four accurate) during Sunday's 2-2 draw against West Ham.

Impact Trippier keeps doing amazing things on the attacking end for the Magpies and extended his assist streak to four games with a pinpoint cross for Alexander Isak to make it 2-1 just after the hour mark. Over his last four starts in all competitions, the right back had six assists, 18 chances created and 29 crosses, being as good as a right-back can be for fantasy purposes.

OCTOBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Anthony Gordon - In contention versus Palace Gordon has served his one-match suspension and will be available against Crystal Palace on Oct. 21.

Impact Considering Gordon has started all but one of his nine appearances for the club in Champions League and Premier League action, he should be a lock to return to the starting XI following the international break. Ironically, Gordon's best performance came off the bench when he recorded one goal on four shots (three on target), one assist and three tackles (two won) versus Sheffield United.

OCTOBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joelinton - Could return after break Joelinton (hamstring) is hopeful to return to training over the break, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Ultimately, Joelinton wasn't close. He hasn't trained with us yet. Hopefull...

Impact Joelinton came back too soon from his injury Sept 30 and the hope is that he doesn't take that route again. He'll need to get back in full training before being an option again and once that happens, Newcastle should be looking fairly solid, as Joe Willock is also on the mend in terms of his return from a longer-term injury.

OCTOBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sven Botman - Hopeful to return after break Botman (knee) is hopeful to return in the next two weeks during the international break, according to manager Eddie Howe.

Impact Botman has been out since the Sept. 24 match, missing two league games and the win over PSG. Fortunately for Newcastle, Jamaal Lascelles is an experienced defender and has played well in Botman's absence. The hope is that Botman will get back to training at some point over the break and possibly be an option coming out of the break after starting 35 league matches last season, his first with Newcastle.

Alexander Isak - Bags brace, forced off late Isak bagged a brace in Sunday's draw against West Ham but asked to come off late in the match. According to manager Eddie Howe, "fingers crossed" that he is okay.

Impact Isak has found a bit of form in recent matches, scoring four goals in four matches ahead of the international break. He supposedly picked up a calf issue a little more than a week ago, but since that came up, he made three starts in nine days and that culminated in the brace against West Ham. If he doesn't play with Sweden over the international break, that may be a cause for concern, but for now, this isn't viewed as a serious injury.

OCTOBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Bruno Guimaraes - Extends Magpies stay Guimaraes signed a new five-year contract with Newcastle, keeping him at the club until 2028.

Impact Guimaraes has made an immediate difference for Newcastle since signing with the club midway through the 2021/22 season. He's been a lock for the starting XI, has shown a nose for goal and has shown the ability to play through any kind of minor knock, hence his continued role in the squad. In the current season, he's started all 10 league and UCL matches.
