Anthony Elanga
23-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
OUT
Injury Undisclosed
Est. Return 1/7/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Elanga turned in back-to-back successful seasons at Nottingham Forest into a deal with Newcastle. He combined for 11 goals and 20 assists the last two seasons, aided by majority work on set pieces this past season. His role for Newcastle is a little unclear, though they dished out the money for him. He'll compete with a bevy of players for starts and it's a wonder if Eddie Howe will stop using the same XI that had success last season. Elanga has upside and may be on a split of sets when in the squad. However, his playing time from the jump is a big unknown.
Almost joins group training
Elanga (undisclosed) is nearing a return to group training, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Anthony hasn't trained with us yet ,but is very."
ANALYSIS
Elanga is still dealing with a knock but is on the verge of a return, with the attacker almost joining the group for training. This likely leaves him with a return next week when facing Leeds United on Wednesday or against Bournemouth on Jan. 10, hoping to help his team during the busy stretch. He has struggled for time following his transfer this summer, with seven starts in 17 appearances while only recording one assist.
