Receives injection, out for week
DNewcastle United
OUT
December 5, 2025
Botman (back) received an injection to treat his injury that needs about a week to work, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "Sven has had an injection. We hope that will bring back his return quite quickly but now there is a time period for the injection to work which I think is about a week then we'll see how he is."
ANALYSIS
Botman remains sidelined with a back injury since he received an injection after seeing a back specialist, and that treatment needs about a week to work. This will likely leave him out for the midweek clash against Leverkusen in the Champions League and a doubt for next week's clash against Sunderland on Sunday. That said, the center-back was only a bench option in the last two games, with Dan Burn taking back his role in central defense.
