Set to miss weeks
Osula (ankle) is set to miss several weeks after scans indicated the need to ease his workload, coach Eddie Howe said in a press conference. "It's something he's been feeling for a little bit but it's been functional. He's been able to train and play. It was getting to the stage when it was affecting him a little bit more. He had a scan and we were awaiting the results, tied in with the game, and the scan told us to pull back a bit. It's not a serious injury, we expect it to be weeks, not any longer."
ANALYSIS
Osula has been playing with a recurrent minor ankle injury, but the forward underwent scans in recent days that led the staff to pull him back, which will sideline him for several weeks. That said, the injury appears to be only minor, and Osula will likely resume his super sub role before the end of the month if everything goes as planned.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could leave on loan in January
Osula could leave Newcastle United on loan during the January transfer window but only if some conditions are met, according to Football Insider.
ANALYSIS
Newcastle aren't known for having a lot of depth at the striker position, so Osula remains a valuable backup alternative for now. However, if Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa are fit come January, the Magpies could entertain Osula's departure on loan for the second half of the campaign. There have been a few teams that have been keeping close tabs on Osula's availability.
