Anthony Elanga
23-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 1/10/2026
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.
Not available Wednesday
Elanga is dealing with a knee injury and won't make it for Wednesday's clash against Leeds United, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference, according to Craig Hope from the Daily Mirror.
ANALYSIS
Elanga missed the last three games due to a knee injury and will miss Wednesday's clash against Leeds United after being labelled a late call in the recent days. The forward is nearing a return but the game on Wednesday is coming too soon for him. His next chance to return will come against Bournemouth on Saturday, leaving Harvey Barnes some space to see increased playing time in the frontline while he is still sidelined.
