Will Osula
22-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
GTD
Injury Ankle
Est. Return 1/25/2026
Back in training Tuesday
Osula (ankle) was spotted back in team training on Tuesday and is nearing a return, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Dan's making really good progress. Same with Will Osula, this was their first day with the team, but hopefully they're not too far away."
ANALYSIS
Osula missed every single game since early November due to an ankle injury he recovered from since he was spotted training with the team on Tuesday, one day before the Champions League clash against PSV. The forward will likely be a late call for the game and is expected to resume a bench role when back available for the Magpies.

Set to miss weeks
Osula (ankle) is set to miss several weeks after scans indicated the need to ease his workload, coach Eddie Howe said in a press conference. "It's something he's been feeling for a little bit but it's been functional. He's been able to train and play. It was getting to the stage when it was affecting him a little bit more. He had a scan and we were awaiting the results, tied in with the game, and the scan told us to pull back a bit. It's not a serious injury, we expect it to be weeks, not any longer."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Aston Villa showing interest
Aston Villa are believed to be interested in Osula, according to TalkSPORT.
ANALYSIS
Aston Villa are scouting the market to add a new striker before the end of the January transfer window, and Osula is a name they might keep close tabs on. The Danish striker is struggling to see regular minutes at Newcastle behind Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa, so a move away from St. James' Park could be beneficial for him.
