Back in squad after injury
Elanga (hamstring) has been named among Newcastle's substitutes for Sunday's Premier League encounter against Crystal Palace after recovering from a hamstring injury.
Analysis: Elanga returns to contention after completing several training sessions this week following a spell on the sidelines. The Swedish winger had been considered a potential option for Sunday's fixture, although he was not expected to be fit enough to complete 90 minutes. His inclusion on the bench confirms he is ready to resume competitive action, but his workload could be managed carefully as he regains match sharpness. Elanga could provide an attacking option during the second half against Palace.
Could feature Sunday
Elanga (hamstring) could return to Newcastle United's matchday squad for Sunday's Premier League clash against Crystal Palace after completing training this week, although he is not yet fit enough to play 90 minutes, according to coach Matthias Jaissle. "Anthony has trained this week and worked really hard. He won't be able to play 90 minutes, but he is hopefully able to join the squad."
Analysis: Elanga has made encouraging progress in his recovery from a hamstring injury, returning to team training this week after a spell on the sidelines. The Swedish winger is now approaching a competitive comeback, with his participation against Crystal Palace a realistic possibility following several training sessions. However, he has yet to regain full match fitness and would likely be limited to a reduced workload if included in Sunday's squad. His potential return would provide Newcastle with an additional attacking option on the wing, although his availability remains subject to a final assessment.
