NEWSFEED: Newcastle United Latest: Injuries, Jaissle's Future, Transfers and 10 Big Questions Answered

Updated: Saturday 24 October 2026

With Newcastle United struggling for consistency and a trip to Crystal Palace coming up, supporters have plenty of questions.

Who's injured? Is Jaissle's job safe? Will Newcastle strengthen in January? And when might some of our missing players return?

Here are 10 of the biggest questions facing the Magpies right now.

1. Who is currently injured at Newcastle United?

Tino Livramento and Ewen Jaouen remain unavailable. Jacob Ramsey has returned to training but is being managed carefully. Anthony Elanga is nearing a comeback, while Matias Fernandez-Pardo remains doubtful through illness.

2. When will Anthony Elanga return?

Possibly against Crystal Palace on Sunday. Jaissle has confirmed that Elanga is training again and could feature, although he isn't ready to play a full 90 minutes.

3. When will Tino Livramento be fit again?

There is no confirmed return date. Newcastle are taking a cautious approach to his knee injury, with hopes that he can return to training and playing duties over the coming weeks.

4. Is Matthias Jaissle's job safe?

For now, it appears so. Reports suggest Newcastle's hierarchy continues to support the German despite three defeats in four league games. However, results will inevitably influence how long that patience lasts.

5. Will Newcastle sign new players in January?

Nothing is guaranteed. Newcastle's recent performances have highlighted areas that may need strengthening, particularly if injuries continue. Any January arrivals will depend on available funds, suitable targets and the club's transfer priorities.

6. Will Newcastle change their formation?

Jaissle has acknowledged that improvements are needed, but has not confirmed a major formation change. Whether Newcastle stick with their current approach or adopt something more defensive remains an important question.

7. Why is Sean Steur not playing?

Jaissle has praised the youngster's potential but stressed that his development is a long-term project. Competition for places remains strong, so regular starts are far from guaranteed.

8. Can Newcastle improve their defensive performances?

They certainly need to. Recent results have raised questions about defensive organisation, midfield protection and the team's overall balance. Cutting out mistakes and becoming harder to break down must be priorities.

9. When is Newcastle's next match?

Newcastle travel to Crystal Palace on Sunday 25 October, with kick-off at 2pm GMT. The match offers an immediate opportunity to respond to the recent disappointing results.

10. What are Newcastle's next three fixtures?

• Sunday 25 October: Crystal Palace (away) – Premier League

• Thursday 29 October: Everton (away) – League Cup

• Monday 2 November: Everton (home) – Premier League

  
  

It's a demanding sequence, but also an opportunity for Newcastle to rebuild confidence before tougher challenges arrive.
