F/MNewcastle United
OUT
January 16, 2026
Murphy (hamstring) was given a period of rest due to an injury, although the scans didn't show anything, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "Jacob has had another scan and again, nothing is showing which is a strange one. You have to go on the symptoms and how the player feels. That'll probably mean a period that Jacob has to come out. How long, I don't know but we're thankful it's not a serious problem and hopefully one we can overcome quickly."
ANALYSIS
Murphy will miss some time as he recovers from a minor hamstring injury that he has been dealing with over the last couple of weeks. While the scans once again did not show anything, making it a strange case, the forward was given a period of rest to fully get rid of the discomfort. Harvey Barnes is expected to take on a larger role in the frontline for the Magpies until Murphy returns to full fitness.
