Allan Saint-Maximin - Late test Saturday Saint-Maximin (hamstring) is considered a late-fitness test for Saturday's trip to Fulham, according to manager Eddie Howe. "He's doing well. He's had a period away, he's come back...

Impact Saint-Maximin is on the verge of a return, which means he's unlikely to start Saturday. The good news is that he's close and should be an option off the bench in one of the next two matches. Given his injury history, he's not being rushed back to the pitch, something that should benefit him ahead of a busy October.

Bruno Guimaraes - Available against Fulham Guimaraes (thigh) has been training fully ahead of Saturday's trip to Fulhan, according to manager Eddie Howe. "We were concerned for Bruno, but he's come back and the scan was goo...

Impact It seems like Guimaraes is ready to start coming out of the break despite the injury scare. He may not go a full 90 because of the issue and that he's still not fully removed from the last injury, so there's a chance Sean Longstaff will come on for him at some point Saturday. No matter, he's healthy and will be in the starting XI if deemed fit.

Alexander Isak - Injury not as bad as feared Isak (strain) is already out "running on grass," according to manager Eddie Howe. "The scan doesn't look too bad, so we're not overly concerned that there's a long injury, but with...

Impact It's a positive sign for Isak, who suffered the injury more than a week ago in training with Sweden. If it's only a tweak, there's a chance he could be back in the squad for the Oct. 8 contest. No matter, Callum Wilson is available again, so those two will likely battle for minutes during an extremely busy portion of the season.

Callum Wilson - Good to face Fulham Wilson (hamstring) has been training for 10 days ahead of Saturday's trip to Fulham, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Every time he comes back from an injury, he does the work, do...

Impact It's all but guaranteed that Wilson will start Saturday given the injuries to the other strikers. The question is if he's ready for a full 90 having been out of action since Aug. 21. Given that he's yet to go a full 90 this season, it's likely he'll be taken off early in his first appearance since the original hamstring injury.

Chris Wood - Late decision Saturday Wood (ribs) is considered a late decision for Saturday's trip to Fulham, according to manager Eddie Howe.

Impact It doesn't seem like a major issue for Wood, but he injured something in his ribs and he hasn't been training since returning to the team. No matter the case, he's a bench option at best for Newcastle with Callum Wilson returning from his injury following the international break.

Jonjo Shelvey - Recovering ahead of schedule Shelvey (hamstring) is recovering far ahead of schedule and could be an option early in October, according to MailOnline.

Impact Shelvey was originally expected to be out until November with a hamstring injury but could return as soon as Saturday's clash with Brentford. Shelvey won't be available against Fulham, but has progressed much quicker than expected and is already nearing a return to training.

Bruno Guimaraes - Expected to return Saturday Guimaraes (thigh) is expected to be fully fit for Saturday's trip to Fulham, according to MailOnline.

Impact Guimaraes is expected to be fully fit Saturday, despite returning early from international duty with the thigh injury. MailOnline reports Guimaraes is expected to be in the starting XI, having cleared injury precautions on his return. Guimaraes has started every match he's been fully fit and available for though a hamstring injury sidelined him for three matches earlier in the campaign.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Callum Wilson - Expected to start Wilson (hamstring) is expected to be fully fit for Saturday's trip to Fulham, according to Craig Hope of MailOnline.

Impact Wilson was always anticipating a return after the international break and it appears he's right on target to start Saturday's trip to Fulham. With Alexander Isak (hamstring) ruled out, Wilson should start up top, before picking up the injury Wilson had two goals in the opening three matches of the Premier League campaign.

Allan Saint-Maximin - Remains unlikely after break Saint-Maximin (hamstring) remains unlikely to feature out of the break for Saturday's trip to Fulham, reports Luke Edwards of The Telegraph.

Impact Saint-Maximin suffered a setback just before the break and unfortunately two weeks may not be long enough for him to recover. It's a tough break for him after a nice start to the season, producing a goal and two assists in four starts. It's hard to see him starting the next two matches following the break, which could mean more time for Ryan Fraser.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Alexander Isak - Expected to miss multiple weeks Isak will reportedly miss multiple weeks with a lower leg injury suffered with the national team, reports Luke Edwards of The Telegraph.

Impact Newcastle can't seem to have nice things after another injury to one of their strikers. Fortunately, Callum Wilson should be ready to return following the break, though this also coincides with a rib injury for Chris Wood. Despite having three players to play central striker, Newcastle may have to change things up out of the international break, as it's hard to see Wilson being ready for a full 90. As for Isak, the report suggests he could be back in a couple weeks.

Bruno Guimaraes - Returns early from international duty Guimaraes has returned early from Brazil after picking up a thigh problem last week in training, reports The Chronicle.

Impact There isn't a ton of information on the issue for Guimaraes, but he definitely seems like a doubt for Saturday's trip to Fulham. He'll hope to recover in the next few days and be an option to start, but it may be best to take a cautious approach with him, leading to possibly another start for Sean Longstaff.

Chris Wood - Injures rib with New Zealand Wood suffered a potential rib injury playing for New Zealand over the international break, reports The Chronicle. According to Wood, "I went in for a collision and something popped...

Impact It's yet another potential injury for the Newcastle attack, which can't seem to stay healthy. Wood is no longer a starter for Newcastle, but he's featured off the bench in every match this season and provides much needed depth for the oft-injured Callum Wilson and newly-injury Alexander Isak.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Bruno Guimaraes - Picks up inflammation Guimaraes is dealing with a thigh inflammation, according to Chris Waugh of the Athletic.

Impact Guimaraes has picked up a minor muscular inflammation, he's hopeful to return for Brazil during the international break, making a return before a trip to Fulham very likely. Guimaraes has quickly become the top option in midfield in Newcastle.

Alexander Isak - Leaves Sweden camp Isak has left Sweden camp after picking up an injury, according to the national team. "It is of course sad mainly for Alex but also for us as a team. But after speaking with both...

Impact It's not a great sign for Isak, who had started his first three eligible matches for Newcastle, going a full 90 in the most recent contest against Bournemouth. While he has a little more than a week to recover, the Oct. 1 trip to Fulham could see Callum Wilson back in the starting XI in his first match back from injury.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Elliot Anderson - Signs long-term Newcastle deal Anderson has signed a long-term contract with Newcastle.

Impact Anderson has received tons of hype in the early season and he's looked well when on the pitch, including a Cup start a few weeks ago. While he's logged just 32 league minutes this season, that number figures to go up with the schedule about to get busier. The problem is that when everyone else is healthy, there's not a ton of room in the midfield unless Eddie Howe decides to completely rotate.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Chris Wood - Bench role this season Wood has featured in all seven of Newcastle's Premier League matches heading into the international break, but he's started just one time so far.

Impact Wood's lone league start thus far came against Wolverhampton on Aug. 28, and besides that he has only subbed in before the 85th minute on two occasions. He seems pointedly the third option at center forward behind Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak, though he could still get some minutes if either or both go down with an injury at some point.

Fabian Schar - Cracks four shots in draw Schar played four shots (one on target), made three clearances, one tackle and a cross as Newcastle shared the honors with Bournemouth in a 1-1 result on Saturday.

Impact Schar created a series of attacking moves for his team and demonstrated, through his contribution to both defensive plays and shots on goal, that he is a versatile center back. He is a player that should be providing more assists but he has been let down by the poor goal scoring execution of his receiving attackers. From six appearances (all starts) he has scored once and contributed to three clean sheets.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Alexander Isak - Scores penalty in draw Isak fired three shots (all on target) scoring from one of them (a penalty). He also made one tackle in Newcastle's 1-1 draw with Bournemouth on Saturday.

Impact Isak converted a well taken penalty following a Jefferson Lerma handball and was threatening in his forward role. He was denied more goals in this game only by some outstanding goalkeeping from Neto. The 70M signing last month from Real Sociedad looks like he has the ability and the support from key playmakers like Kieran Trippier, Ryan Fraser and Miguel Almiron to deliver goals this season. In his three appearances (all starts) he has scored two and has a good chance of growing that tally in Newcastle's next against Fulham who have conceded goals in their last five EPL matches.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Miguel Almiron - Strikes two shots in draw Almiron took two shots (one on target), delivered a cross and made two tackles in Newcastle's 1-1 outcome against Bournemouth on Saturday.

Impact Almiron was lively in his attacking midfield role on the right flank but failed to make a material impact on the game. The Paraguayan has not been effective this season, more would be expected from someone of his caliber. From seven appearances (all starts) he has only scored one goal and produced no assists. He was subbed after 89 for Chris Wood.
