Lewis Miley
19-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
OUT
Injury Leg
Est. Return 2/21/2026
Making progress, still out
Miley (leg) is out for Wednesday's match against Qarabag, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Lewy's made good progress in the last few days. We're quite happy with with his progress. He's had a number of scans; it came from a knock, which seems quite strange, but just a really bad dead leg gave some muscle disruption. So as soon as that muscle is healed, which we think it is, now we can push him on."
ANALYSIS
Miley is still working on his return and will not be risked in the first leg, instead focusing on recovery from the muscle issue. This will leave him out for a fourth straight match, with it unknown if he can return come the weekend. This will leave Joelinton (groin), Sandro Tonali to start, with Jacob Ramsey and Joe Willock fighting for the last spot in the midfield.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could leave Newcastle
Teams from the Premier League and the Bundesliga are keeping close tabs on Miley, according to Teamtalk.

Miley has struggled to earn regular minutes at Newcastle this season, and the left-back could depart the Magpies in the summer, although it's uncertain if he'll do it on a loan or a permanent transfer. The 18-year-old is a talented player, but he needs to play regularly to reach his potential.
