Limited to backup role
Pope has yet to play a minute in any competition this season.
Analysis: Pope is currently serving as the backup to Lukas Hornicek while Ewen Jaouen remains sidelined through injury. The goalkeeper sits third in the pecking order when the squad is fully fit, leaving him with a limited path to playing time. Even with Jaouen unavailable, Pope has remained on the bench, and his opportunities should remain scarce unless Hornicek is rested or unavailable.
Four saves in loss
Pope recorded four saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Fulham.
Analysis: Pope was beaten twice in Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Craven Cottage on the final day of the season, conceding Issa Diop's first-half header before watching Tom Cairney's curling effort find the top-left corner in the closing stages despite getting a hand to the ball. The English goalkeeper made four saves across the match but was unable to prevent a result that saw Newcastle United slip from 11th to 12th in the final standings. Pope ends the 2025-26 Premier League season with 89 saves, 38 goals conceded and seven clean sheets across 27 appearances.
