Willock (knee) has a slight chance to feature in Sunday's clash against Arsenal, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "Joe, we'll leave the door open for him, I think he's got a slight chance."
ANALYSIS
Willock has a slight chance to be fit for Sunday's clash against Arsenal. The door is open and he will likely face a late fitness test after the final training session to determine if he can make the squad. If available, he could return directly to the starting XI as he has been a regular starter lately in the absence of Joelinton (knee) due to injury.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Crystal Palace showing interest
MNewcastle United
GTD
May 11, 2025
Crystal Palace are interested in signing Willock, according to The Chronicle Live.
ANALYSIS
Willock is dealing with a minor thigh injury, but that shouldn't impact him on a long-term basis. The central midfielder has been relegated to a secondary role at Newcastle, and he'd be interested in pursuing a move to Crystal Palace, as he would have a bigger chance of seeing regular minutes, particularly if Adam Wharton departs the club in the summer.
