Injury Back
Est. Return 12/30/2025
Not ready to play
Botman (back) is making good progress but is not ready to play yet, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "With Sven [Botman], we're not entirely sure when he'll return. He's made good progress but he's not ready to play yet."
ANALYSIS
Botman has made good progress following his injection to treat a back injury but isn't fit yet to play. The center-back doesn't have a specific timeline to return but is still expected to play before the end of the year. That said, Fabian Schar is expected to see a starting role for the Magpies with Botman not there yet and Dan Burn (ribs) sidelined until late January.
