Sven Botman
25-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
OUT
Injury Back
Est. Return 12/6/2025
Will see back specialist
Botman (back) will see a specialist in the next couple of days to know what the best option for him moving forward, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "With Sven he's going to see a specialist in the next couple of days to get a definitive opinion on whether he needs an injection or whether he's able to rest for a few days and resume training."
ANALYSIS
Botman missed Saturday's clash against the Toffees due to a back injury and will see a specialist in the coming days to know what's the best option for him moving forward, getting an injection or resting a few days before resuming training. This will rule him out for Tuesday's clash against Tottenham, with his next chance to feature coming against Burnley on Saturday. Fabian Schar is expected to see a greater role in the backline of the Magpies while he is sidelined.
