Full 90 in win
Hall (undisclosed) played the full 90 during Tuesday's 2-0 win over Czechia.
Analysis: Hall got back on the pitch during Tuesday's win and immediately played the full 90. He was excellent throughout the match as England walked to victory. Now that he's back fit, Hall should be a consistently important part of the Newcastle squad and could play a big role for England.
Could return against Czechia
Hall (muscle) could be available for Tuesday's Nations League match against Czechia after missing Saturday's 3-2 loss to Spain, according to England coach Thomas Tuchel, per Chronicle Live. "He missed some training sessions with a bit of an injury scare, Hall. That is why I was a bit hesitant to put him out there today. He is an option, he trained well at the end of the week but he was out of training at the start."
Analysis: Hall appears to be nearing full availability after England took no risks with the minor muscle issue against Spain. He returned to training toward the end of the week and also completed additional work following Saturday's match, leaving him in contention to feature Tuesday. The defender will still need to prove his fitness before being considered for minutes, but the latest update is encouraging after he missed training earlier in the week.
Misses training with knock
Hall missed England's training session on Wednesday due to a knock, according to John Cross of The Mirror.
Analysis: Hall was not on the field with the rest of his England teammates Wednesday, with the defender sitting out due to a knock. The good news for the full-back is that he should make a quick turnaround, just taking the day off as a precaution. He will likely look to see the field in one of England's upcoming Nations League contests, probably not a huge worry for fantasy managers.
Scores in win over Tigers
Hall scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-1 win against Hull City.
Analysis: Hall doubled Newcastle's lead just seven minutes into the first half, as the left-back found himself in a promising position at the edge of the box and blasted an unstoppable shot outside of Konstantinos Tzolakis' reach. This was Hall's first goal of the 2026/27 campaign, and he's been one of the Magpies' standout performers amid an uneven start to the season.
Five crosses Monday
Hall generated one shot (one on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Monday's 4-1 loss against Leeds United.
Analysis: Hall sent in five crosses, including three corners during Monday's loss, a nice floor despite the horrid loss. The defender has some upside with his role creatively even in matches where Newcastle struggle to get a foothold. Hall will hope to build on this showing in the coming weeks, though hopefully with Newcastle in a better spot overall.
Signs long term contract extension
Hall signed a new long term contract with Newcastle United until 2031, according to the club. "I have been impressed with Lewis since I arrived. He is a very important player for us and for what we are building here, so this is exciting news," Head coach Matthias Jaissle said.
Analysis: Hall has made 107 appearances since first joining his boyhood club on loan in August 2023, a move made permanent in 2024, playing every round of Newcastle's 2024/25 Carabao Cup winning campaign aside from the final due to injury, and adding 11 Champions League appearances. The 22 year old defender has earned four caps for England since his first call up in November 2024, and his new deal secures his long term future at St. James' Park.
Provides assist in draw
Hall assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-2 draw against AFC Bournemouth.
Analysis: Hall delivered the assist on Harvey Barnes' opener and also registered one shot without troubling Djordje Petrovic across 89 minutes before being replaced by Tino Livramento late, and delivered three corners throughout the match. Hall now has one assist in three Premier League appearances and could see reduced playing time if Livramento remains fit moving forward.
Excellent until penalty
Hall generated four crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Liverpool.
Analysis: Hall was excellent throughout Sunday's draw, right up until he took down Victor Munoz in second half stoppage time. He had nowhere to do and no choice but to take down the pacey winger, but in the end it cost the equalizing penalty. Hall looks to be off to a great start this season and continues to build as one of the better young full-backs in the Premier League.
Starts Wednesday's friendly
Hall is in the starting XI for Wednesday's preseason friendly against Everton.
Analysis: Hall missed Saturday's friendly against Valencia as a precautionary measure rather than due to any serious issue, and the expectation heading into the week was that he would be ready for Wednesday's match against Everton. Being confirmed in the starting XI today is the clearest confirmation yet that the knock has fully cleared, and it leaves him on track to be available from the start of the new campaign and the rest of preseason games.
Not risked due to minor issue
Hall (undisclosed) will not feature in Saturday's friendly against Valencia and traveled back to Newcastle, though he will train at Benton, with no major injury and is expected to be fit for Wednesday's friendly in Edinburgh, according to Mark Douglas of The i Paper Sport.
Analysis: Hall established himself as Newcastle's first choice left back last season, starting 24 of his 30 league appearances and contributing one goal and one assist while adding 102 crosses, 54 tackles, 28 interceptions and 77 clearances. He will simply not be risked Saturday and his continued training positions him to be ready for the upcoming fixture as preseason progresses.
Clears knock, available Sunday
Hall (undisclosed) has been confirmed fit after taking a knock during last week's clash against Nottingham Forest, according to coach Eddie Howe. "Lewis is fine, he has trained this week."
Analysis: Hall had raised some concern after suffering a knock during the clash against Forest but his full training week is a clean bill of health heading into Sunday's fixture against West Ham. The full-back should retain his starting role against the Hammers with no lingering issues from the Forest clash.
Whips in six crosses
Hall recorded two shots (one on goal), six crosses (four accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Sunderland.
Analysis: Hall was on the losing side Sunday, but still proved to have a solid match, recording three chances created and six crosses in the attack. However, he was not as good in defense, as his club allowed two goals in the loss, notching two clearances. He continues as the starter at left-back with 19 starts in 24 appearances.
Provides assist in heavy loss
Hall assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 7-2 loss to Barcelona.
Analysis: Hall sparked Newcastle's opener with a powerful burst forward and a low cross after a slick give-and-go with Harvey Barnes down the left, setting up Anthony Elanga to strike first. He looked dangerous in that early stretch and caused real issues for Barcelona, but Newcastle's defensive shape eventually cracked under sustained pressure. The second half turned into a one-way push as Barcelona overwhelmed the flanks and took control, leaving Hall pinned back in a purely defensive role, with the assist marking his second of the season in 36 appearances across all competitions alongside 30 chances created.
Four crosses in win
Hall had four crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Chelsea. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 89th minute.
Analysis: Hall sent in four crosses and took a single corner during Saturday's win. The defender wasn't as involved in the attack as he always is, but that's to be expected against a good Chelsea side. Hall has plenty of upside on the ball when he can get forward, though he only has two goal contributions this season.
Scores clubs lone goal
Hall scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Manchester City.
Analysis: Hall looked to get Newcastle back in the game after a 22nd-minute goal to equalize things before City scored just five minutes later. This does mark the defender's first goal of the season, coming after 20 appearances. He is up to two goal contributions on the campaign, as he also has earned an assist, continuing as a starter at left-back.
Eight crosses in 0-0 draw
Hall generated two shots (zero on goal), eight crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Wolverhampton.
Analysis: Hall took two shots and attempted eight crosses as Newcastle drew 0-0 with Wolves. The left-back has attempted at least four crosses in each of the last eight games, and he hasn't provided an assist in the last 11 games. He is Newcastle's third-highest set-piece taker after Sandro Tonali and Kieran Trippier.
Ankle deemed fine
Hall has reported his ankle is "ok" after he went down during Tuesday's 3-1 win over Brentford with an apparent ankle injury, according to Craig Hope of Daily Mail.
Analysis: Hall looks to be avoiding any injury concerns after he went down during Tuesday's match appearing to be in pain, with the defender stating post-match that his ankle was "ok." This is not a player the club can afford to lose at the moment, as they are low of defensive options and he has started in their past five games at left-back. He should remain an option moving forward, set to face Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Set-piece chances growing
Hall registered three shots (zero on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and five corners in Friday's 1-0 loss against Manchester United.
Analysis: Hall attempted a season-high five corners Friday in Newcastle's 1-0 road defeat at the hands of Manchester United. In addition to his attacking contributions, the full-back added one tackle (zero won) and one clearance to the team's defensive effort across his 90-minute shift. Hall has attemtped 13 total corners and played the full 90 minutes in each of Newcastle's last four fixtures (all competitions). Prior to the four-match stretch, he had attemtped just eight corners across 11 appearances (four starts).
Should be fine going forward
Hall should be fine for Friday's match against Manchester Unite despite having another reaction in his hamstring, according to manager Eddie Howe. "I believe Lewis came through OK," Howe said. "We're still very aware that he's had a little reaction to his hamstring but there is still part of us that will be nursing him through the upcoming games, we need to keep an eye on him.
Analysis: Hall is fine and went the full 90 against Chelsea, but with so many matches ahead, there's a chance he'll be rested in an upcoming match. It'll likely be a precarious situation because a bad hamstring is not something you want to play on. Unfortunately for Newcastle, they don't have any senior team left-backs available to them if Hall has to rest at all in upcoming matches.
Makes starting XI
Hall (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Chelsea.
Analysis: Hall has recovered in time from the hamstring fatigue he suffered after the Sunderland game and will start Saturday's clash against Chelsea. Newcastle were eager to have him available given the numerous absences in the backline and the recent knee injury to Valentino Livramento, who is expected to be sidelined until 2026. Hall's availability immediately places him in the starting XI as the options in defense remain limited.
