Story summary

Matthias Jaissle, Newcastle's medical staff chief, announced on Thursday that Amar Dedic will not be able to play against Bournemouth on Saturday due to an undisclosed injury. Dedic, a recent signing from Benfica, has been the club’s first-choice right-back and has made four Premier League starts this season, including an assist in Newcastle's 2-0 victory over Tottenham.

Dedic's absence could affect Fantasy Premier League players who selected him as part of their strategy for the term. It also presents Tino Livramento with a chance to impress new manager Erik ten Hag, who took charge after Eddie Howe stepped down during the transfer window. Newcastle has undergone significant changes in its playing squad this season, losing key players like Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes to other clubs.

🔮 The Brazilian was sent off for a silly challenge in stoppage time having already been booked for taking his shirt off and celebrating in the Old Trafford crowd, but United were able to cling on to a hugely important victory that could save Carrick his job.

Narrative

It remains to be seen when Dedic will return to action - and what his injury actually is - and that will be a blow to many Fantasy Premier League players, with the defender an under-the-radar pick on the game this term. As such, it hands England international Livramento, who was forced to fly home from the World Cup in the summer due to a calf injury, an opportunity to impress his new manager, who took over the reins at St James’ Park from Eddie Howe, who stepped down from the role during the transfer window.
