Anthony Elanga
24-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Elanga turned in back-to-back successful seasons at Nottingham Forest into a deal with Newcastle. He combined for 11 goals and 20 assists the last two seasons, aided by majority work on set pieces this past season. His role for Newcastle is a little unclear, though they dished out the money for him. He'll compete with a bevy of players for starts and it's a wonder if Eddie Howe will stop using the same XI that had success last season. Elanga has upside and may be on a split of sets when in the squad. However, his playing time from the jump is a big unknown.
Good to go Sunday
Elanga (knee) is available for Sunday's clash with Tunisia, according to manager Graham Potter. "All players are available and ready to play (against Tunisia). I have a pretty clear picture of what the starting eleven will look like and have had it for a while."
ANALYSIS
Elanga picked up a knee contusion at the start of the Swedish training camp, but it appears his recovery has gone as expected. He's back fit and available for the opening clash with Tunisia, where he should be an option in the attack. Elanga will likely be a bench option to start, but he should get his chances off the bench in attacking midfield and as a wide option if needed.

"When you get knee on knee, the pain is indescribable. But it disappears after a day or two. You always imagine the worst when you have knee pain. But everything is fine."
