Nick Pope
33-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
OUT
Injury Groin
Est. Return 12/26/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Pope finished year three with Newcastle in decent form but still not at his best, reclaiming the starting role for 28 appearances, only missing time due to an injury in December. He had eight clean sheets for a clean sheet every three-and-a-half games, a bit worse than his clean sheet every three games from the previous season. Newcastle had ups and downs throughout the season, but they still have a compact group that can keep anyone scoreless if they're playing at their best. If he can stay healthy and keep the starting gig for 30-plus games, Pope should be headed for 10-plus clean sheets in 2025/26.
Set to miss three weeks
Pope (groin) is set to miss the next three weeks of competition due to injury, according to Keith Downie from Sky Sports.
ANALYSIS
Pope has been assessed and the results revealed a groin injury that will make him miss the next three weeks to recover. This will leave him sidelined for the next six games across all competitions with a return expected against Manchester United on the Boxing Day. Aaron Ramsdale will be the one starting between the posts for the Magpies to replace him during this timeline.

Suffers groin injury
Pope suffered a groin injury in training and was ruled out for Saturday's 4-1 victory against Everton, coach Eddie Howe said to the media. "We're disappointed to lose him. He suffered an injury just towards the end of training. Wrong-footed on a shot and felt something in his groin, more after training than in that moment. We hope he's not out for long, we need him back. He'll have a scan in the next few days to find the damage."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not keen on leaving Newcastle
Pope is not interested in leaving Newcastle United in the summer, according to TBR Football.
ANALYSIS
The 33-year-old goalkeeper isn't keen on leaving Newcastle United, and his reluctance to agree to terms with other clubs could complicate the chances of Newcastle signing a new goalkeeper in the summer. Newcastle has been linked with a move for James Trafford, but that won't progress if Pope doesn't leave the side.
