Injury Hamstring
Est. Return 1/13/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Murphy broke onto the scene last season with Newcastle at the age of 30, reaching almost 2,400 minutes, a mark he had never come close to touching. He started 31 of 35 appearances while registering eight goals and 12 assists, earning a career-high in assists and goal contributions. Murphy capitalized his role following the departure of Miguel Almiron and since returning from shoulder surgery in January 2024, he's been a lock for the XI. The question is what his minutes will look like with newly added Anthony Elanga.
Could return after precaution miss
Murphy (hamstring) could return in Tuesday's Carabao Cup first semifinal leg against Manchester City after missing Saturday's win against Bournemouth as a precaution, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference, according to Jordan Cronin from NewcastleWorld.
ANALYSIS
Murphy is still dealing with his hamstring issue and missed Saturday's clash against the Cherries as a precaution to avoid any further setbacks. The forward could be in line to return and be available for Tuesday's Carabao Cup first semifinal leg against Manchester City if nothing occurs ahead of the match. Murphy started three of his last five appearances and could resume that role in upcoming fixtures if he is fully fit again.
