Emil Krafth
31-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 1/4/2026
Still two weeks away
Krafth (knee) is still out and his return date will be around the new year, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "Emil is still out and his target date will be around the new year we think."
ANALYSIS
Krafth has missed the last seven games due to a knee injury that will likely sideline him for two more weeks since he is targetting a return around the new year. Krafth is expected to be aiming the clash against Crystal Palace on Jan. 4 to return, although that won't impact the starting XI since he has been a bench option mainly this campaign for the Magpies.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could leave Newcastle soon
Krafth could leave Newcastle United in the near future, according to The Daily Mail.
ANALYSIS
Krafth is a depth option for Newcastle on the defensive line, so it wouldn't be shocking if the 31-year-old decided to leave in order to pursue a bigger role elsewhere. FC Copenhague are keen on signing the Sweden international.
