Returns to bench against Palace
Ramsey (thigh) is available off the bench for Sunday's Premier League clash against Crystal Palace after recovering from injury.
Analysis: Ramsey returns to Newcastle's matchday squad after missing recent fixtures against Hull City, Coventry City and Aston Villa due to a thigh injury. The midfielder had only recently resumed on-field training, making his inclusion against Palace an encouraging step in his recovery. Having primarily featured as a substitute this season, Ramsey could see limited minutes as he gradually rebuilds his match fitness. His return provides Newcastle with additional depth in central midfield.
Unlikely to face Crystal Palace
Ramsey (thigh) has resumed work on the pitch as he continues recovering from injury, although his availability for Sunday's Premier League clash against Crystal Palace remains uncertain, according to coach Matthias Jaissle. "I am happy Jacob is back on the pitch. We need to take it step-by-step with him, we don't want to take too many risks."
Analysis: Ramsey is making gradual progress in his recovery from a thigh injury that has kept him sidelined for Newcastle's recent fixtures against Hull City, Coventry City and Aston Villa. The midfielder has now returned to on-field work, marking another positive step after previously being expected to resume partial team training this week. However, his recovery is being managed cautiously, and there is no indication that he has regained sufficient fitness for competitive action. Ramsey has primarily featured as a substitute this season, and his eventual return would provide Newcastle with additional midfield depth, although no definitive comeback date has been established.
Could resume training next week
Ramsey (thigh) remains unavailable for Saturday's Premier League clash against Aston Villa but could resume partial team training next week, according to coach Matthias Jaissle. "With JJ it's a bit different. He's making progress. Hopefully next week he can join in partially in training and then we can build it from there."
Analysis: Ramsey continues to recover from a thigh injury that has kept him out of Newcastle's last two matches against Hull City and Coventry City. The midfielder is making progress toward his return and could resume partial team training next week, although he will need additional time to rebuild his match fitness. Ramsey has primarily operated as a substitute this season, and his eventual return would provide Newcastle with additional depth in midfield rather than an immediate starting option.
Doesn't make squad Monday
Ramsey (thigh) isn't in the squad for Monday's match against Coventry City.
Analysis: Ramsey was awaiting fitness clearance to make the squad Monday, but he didn't make the bench in the end. The winger's next chance to play will come against Aston Villa on Saturday.
Awaiting fitness clearance
Ramsey (thigh) remains uncertain for Monday's clash against Coventry City, with his return to full training yet to be confirmed, according to coach Matthias Jaissle, per Chronicle Live. "They returned but not everyone was in today. We allowed some of them an extra day so tomorrow they are fully back."
Analysis: Ramsey continues to work toward a return after suffering a thigh injury during the warmup before Newcastle's defeat to Leeds United. The midfielder had initially been expected to recover during the international break, but his absence from team training earlier in the week raised doubts about his readiness. Manager Matthias Jaissle has yet to confirm whether Ramsey has resumed full sessions, leaving his involvement against Coventry uncertain. Matias Fernandez-Pardo, Bazoumana Toure and Jacob Murphy could continue seeing opportunities if Ramsey remains sidelined.
Not yet training
Ramsey (thigh) has not yet resumed team training with the Magpies, according to Craig Hope of the Daily Mail.
Analysis: Ramsey had been ruled out of the match against Hull City after picking up a thigh issue during warmups before the loss to Leeds United, with coach Matthias Jaissle previously hoping for a return after the international break. This continued absence from training suggests his path back remains uncertain, and Matias Fernandez-Pardo, Bazoumana Toure and Jacob Murphy figure to continue seeing opportunities in his absence.
Sidelined with thigh injury
Ramsey (thigh) has been ruled out of Saturday's clash against Hull City, according to coach Matthias Jaissle. "JJ is injured. Hopefully after the international break our injury list is shorter"
Analysis: Ramsey picked up the thigh issue during the warm-up ahead of Monday's loss to Leeds United and was ultimately unable to play. He'll now miss a second consecutive match, with manager Matthias Jaissle's comments suggesting a return after the international break could be possible, though no firm timeline has been established. With Anthony Elanga also sidelined, Matias Fernandez-Pardo, Bazoumana Toure and Jacob Murphy could see increased opportunities against Hull City.
Suffers injury in warm-ups
Ramsey suffered a thigh injury before Monday's match against Leeds United and might not be available to play Saturday against Hull City, according to Craig Hope of The Daily Mail.
Analysis: Ramsey "felt his thigh" during warm-ups and wasn't available to play Monday. Manager Matthias Jaissle revealed that "it doesn't look good" for any of the injured players to be available Saturday against Hull, meaning Ramsey could be in line for a multi-week recovery with the goal of being ready to return after the international break. Given that Anthony Elanga (undisclosed) is also dealing with an injury, players like Matias Fernandez-Pardo, Bazoumana Toure and even Jacob Murphy could be in line for more minutes Saturday versus the Tigers.
Scores late equalizer off bench
Ramsey scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus AFC Bournemouth.
Analysis: Ramsey entered late in the second half and made his presence felt down the stretch, taking advantage of a loose ball inside the box to find the equalizer with a rocket that left Djordje Petrovic's reaction helpless. Ramsey has played off the bench in his three appearances so far, and his fantasy upside will remain limited as long as he remains out of the XI on a consistent basis.
Single shot in draw
Ramsey generated one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Liverpool. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 65th minute.
Analysis: Ramsey struggled to get involved in the match, putting his lone shot off target during a disappointing draw. It was a good performance by the team as a whole, but Ramsey failed to really make a difference in his time on the pitch, and was shown a yellow card. Ramsey is a creative wing option, and should get his chances, but his finishing leaves something to be desired.
Five tackles in defeat
Ramsey generated five tackles (five won) and two clearances in Sunday's 2-0 defeat against Fulham.
Analysis: Ramsey started in Newcastle's central midfield alongside Bruno Guimaraes in Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Craven Cottage on the final day of the season, unable to impose himself as Fulham's pressing game. The English midfielder was part of a Newcastle side that managed just two shots on target across the entire match against a home team that controlled possession and territory from the moment Issa Diop's header gave them the lead, while adding five tackles and two clearances. Ramsey ends the 2025-26 season with two goals, three assists, 22 keys passes and 41 tackles across 28 appearances dont 15 titularisations in a Newcastle campaign that ends in 12th place, well short of the European ambitions that had driven the club's summer recruitment.
Assists on two chances
Ramsey assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Sunday's 3-1 victory over West Ham United.
Analysis: Ramsey created a pair of chances and tallied a single assist during a big win over West Ham. Newcastle and Ramsey had the chance to play in behind against a desperate West Ham side and they made the most of it. Ramsey was excellent every time he got on the ball, finding dangerous passes and showing some nice form to end the campaign.
Earns assist
Ramsey assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Ramsey was only used 29 for 29 minutes off the bench Sunday but had a major impact, as his pass in the 74th minute found Harvey Barnes for a goal and an assist. This ends a goal contribution drought for Ramsey, as his last came Feb. 28. He is up to two goals and two assists in 26 appearances (13 starts) this season.
Suspension over
Ramsey is no longer suspended and is an option for the club moving forward.
Analysis: Ramsey has served his suspension over the weekend in FA Cup play, already an option again for Premier League action. He has started in the past three games he has been an option for but has been more of a rotational option this campaign, with nine starts in 19 appearances. However, once Bruno Guimaraes (hamstring) is fit, he will likely drop back to a bench role.
Sent off Wednesday
Ramsey was shown a second yellow card during Wednesday's game versus Manchester United.
Analysis: Ramsey was booked twice in the first half of the match and ultimately got sent off for simulating a foul during the first half. The red card will force him to miss the upcoming FA Cup matchup versus Manchester City, with Joe Willock potentially covering his place in that game. Ramsey's next chance to feature will come in a March 10 UCL duel versus Barcelona.
Clears illness
Ramsey cleared his illness and was back in full team training Monday, according to coach Eddie Howe. "Jacob trained fine yesterday."
Analysis: Ramsey was forced off at halftime in Saturday's matchup against Everton due to illness, but the forward returned to full training Monday and is back in the mix for the Magpies moving forward. That is a major boost for Newcastle, as he has locked down a regular role in midfield in recent weeks and has been one of the driving forces lately, producing two goals and one assist across his last three Premier League appearances while underlining just how central he is to the team's current momentum.
Forced off due to illness
Ramsey scored in the 32nd minute before coming off at halftime due to illness in Saturday's clash against Everton, the club announced.
Analysis: Ramsey scored in the 32nd minute before being forced off at halftime due to illness in Saturday's clash against Everton. Further tests will be conducted to determine whether he will be available for Wednesday's match against Manchester United. If he is unable to feature, Joe Willock is likely to see increased minutes.
Starting in return
Ramsey (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Everton.
Analysis: Ramsey starts in his return for Saturday's clash against the Toffees after missing the Champions League showdown against Qarabag with a minor hamstring issue. The midfielder has turned the corner in his recovery and is immediately restored to the starting XI. This is a strong boost for the Magpies as he resumes the regular midfield role he had secured prior to the setback.
Could be available Saturday
Ramsey (hamstring) will train Friday and could be an option for Saturday's clash against Everton, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "Jacob [Ramsey] - we hope will train today so fingers crossed for tomorrow."
Analysis: Ramsey sat out the Champions League showdown against Qarabag with a minor hamstring issue, but it looks like he has already turned the corner, as he is expected to get back on the training pitch Friday and could be in the mix for Saturday's clash against the Toffees. That would be a strong boost for the Magpies, considering he had locked down a regular starting role in midfield before the setback and is lined up to reclaim that same spot if he is fully cleared.
Could be available Saturday
Ramsey (hamstring) miss Tuesday's second leg against Qarabag in the Champions League due to injury but could be available for Saturday's clash against Everton since the scans were quite positive, coach Eddie Howe said to the media, according to Scott Wilson from the Northern Echo. "We hope he can [be involved at the weekend]. We hope it's nothing serious, he just felt his hamstring, an awareness, a tightness in his hamstring. He had a scan and that came back all clear, so we're hopeful it will be a quick improvement and he'll be back involved. Hopefully, that will be for our next game, but let's wait and see."
Analysis: Ramsey felt some tightness in his hamstring, but the scans came back encouraging, putting the forward in position to potentially make a quick turnaround ahead of Saturday's clash against Everton. That would be a big boost for the Magpies, as he has recently cemented himself as a steady presence in central midfield, earning five starts in his last seven appearances across all competitions. With Bruno Guimaraes (hamstring) sidelined for some time and Lewis Miley (leg) still a doubt, Nick Woltemade is in line to slot back into the midfield if Ramsey is ultimately held out.
