Emil Krafth
31-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 12/14/2025
Not involved due to knee issue
Krafth wasn't involved recently for Newcastle since he came back from international duty with a knee issue, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "Emil came back from international duty with a knee issue, but he will be good."
ANALYSIS
Krafth was left out of the squad in the last two games after dealing with a knee issue since returning from international duty with Sweden. The defender has played only one game this season, starting and completing one half against West Ham United in early November, and he remained an unused substitute in all the other matches. As a result, his absence from the squad does not affect the starting lineup.

ANALYSIS
Krafth is a depth option for Newcastle on the defensive line, so it wouldn't be shocking if the 31-year-old decided to leave in order to pursue a bigger role elsewhere. FC Copenhague are keen on signing the Sweden international.
