Returns to bench
DNewcastle United
April 26, 2025
Botman (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Ipswich.
ANALYSIS
Botman has recovered from his knee injury and trained well during the week but will only make the bench for Saturday's match. He will likely be managed with caution to avoid any setbacks from either of his injured knees. When fully fit, he is a regular starter for Newcastle and will likely aim to regain full fitness for the beginning of next season.
