News about Sven Botman

CRAIG HOPE: After exceeding expectations to qualify for the Champions League in 2022-23, this season was a more trying one for Newcastle. They were booted out of the Champions League at the group stage, lost six Premier League games in seven over the winter period - 14 across the 38 games - and were knocked out of both cup competitions at the quarter-final stage. The Magpies struggled with an injury crisis during the season, and despite improving in the final months of the season, they missed out on Europe despite finishing seventh - after Manchester United kicked them out by winning the FA Cup.

Only days after fellow defender Sven Botman suffered the same problem, Newcastle captain Jamaal Lascelles was shaken by the discovery that his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) had ruptured. On Saturday, Lascelles was compelled to 17 minutes during Newcastle's 3-2 victory over West Ham. After Botman underwent surgery in the international break due to an ACL injury, the club captain had been recalled to the starting lineup.

CRAIG HOPE: Sven Botman, a Newcastle defender, will have ACL surgery next week and be out for between six and nine months. In the 2-0 FA Cup loss to Manchester City on Saturday, the Dutch defender sustained the injury and was suspended in the 82nd minute. After breaking ligaments in the same knee, Botman missed three months earlier this season. This latest crisis is thought to be a distinct issue, but it could also raise concerns over the decision not to operate in September.

KIERAN GILL AND CRAIG HOPE: Chelsea defeated Newcastle 3-2 to close the gap to Newcastle and the top half of the table, down to just one point. Nicolas Jackson scored the first goal before Alexander Isak scored an equalizer for the Magpies. Chelsea tended to be more at ease in the second half, with Cole Palmer and Mykhailo Mudryk scoring, sealing the victory with goals.

Manchester United and Brighton have each sustained 28 injuries, while Tottenham, Nottingham Forest, and Crystal Palace have all been dealt with 27 lay-offs. Liverpool and Chelsea have each sustained 27 separate injuries, highlighted by the combined 19 absentees from their matchday squads for the Carabao Cup finals at Wembley on Sunday.

KIERAN GILL AT THE EMIRATES STADIUM: After Arsenal scored 25 Premier League goals in 2024, Mikel Arteta said his team is scoring for fun in a variety of ways. Arsenal befuddled Newcastle thanks to goals from Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, Jakub Kiwior, and a little bit of Sven Botman's assistance in inadvertently wrapping the ball into his own net. Two of those came from corners, but the club's set-piece coach Nicolas Jover had a pivotal role in this triumph. Asked if Jover has a nice goal bonus built into his contract, Arteta joked: 'That is for the owner to respond! In many ways, we're tracking goals. We have to do it again.

Manchester United's Dan Ashworth has been designated as the No. 1 target in the hunt for a new sporting director. Ashworth, 52, works in Newcastle United, but it appears Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS have chosen the man to oversee recruitment at Old Trafford. United and Newcastle are expected to reach an agreement over Ashworth by early next week, according to Mail Sport. Both sides are planning a formal approach for the sporting director, and a prompt conclusion is the preferred result.

Manchester United's recruitment in the past two years has been criticized extensively, and now three of the Premier League's top recruiters have been named among the top 20 underperformers. A graph containing data from Twenty First Group compared the two-year average ratings of all Premier League players and plotted it against their new nine-month ratings. The chart then shows how much money the player has been playing against various rankings, ranging from 'League Two Averages (300)' to 'Ballon d'Or Contenders (1000+)'.

Newcastle United are keen to avoid becoming like Everton and Nottingham Forest as they try to navigate their way through complex Financial Fair Play legislation, according to Craig Hope, who believes there is a sense of 'paranoia' over spending at St James Park. Despite facing a massive injury crisis this season and numerous areas to improve after a taxing season that saw them competing in four leagues, including the Champions League, the Magpies are yet to make a signing in the January transfer window. However, Newcastle has been 'hamstrung' by FFP rules as they attempt to avoid Premier League sanctions, despite being technically the world's richest club under the Public Investment Fund's support.

According to a recent report, the top transfer results in Europe over the past decade have been identified, with several Premier League sides playing. The CIES Football Observatory has conducted its most recent survey in the hopes of determining transfer results and losses for Europe's top sides. This was done by analyzing transfer fees for non-academy players who moved between 2014 and 2023, both current and outgoing.

CRAIG HOPE: Newcastle United claim that every player has a price and one of their stars will have to be paid if they want to defy financial laws and challenge at the top of the Premier League, and that every player will have to be sold. That was the message sent by chief executive Darren Eales as he explained how restrictive Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) are impacting the Saudi-owned club's spending power, as well as alerting that there are no prospects for a major influx this month. Asked if one of Bruno Guimaraes, Sven Botman, or Alexander Isak will be sold in the summer, Eales said: "It's impossible to guess, but if we're not offered £1 billion for one of those players, no one would protest that making sense."

After falling below the pecking order under Eddie Howe, Newcastle defender Jamaal Lascelles is attracting attention from Turkish side Besiktas. Lascelles is the club's captain, but he is no longer guaranteed a first team starting position this season, with Fabian Schar and Sven Botman often selected ahead of him as the first choice center-back pairings. This season, the center-back has played in 20 games, while Schar has started every game under Howe.

In today's FA Cup match between Sunderland and Newcastle, there is plenty of action to be predicted. The much-anticipated fixture will be held at the famed Stadium of Light. Sky Bet is giving multiple 'Price Boosts' for the game, as well as long odds.

Following a 4-2 victory over Eddie Howe's Newcastle, Jurgen Klopp's side went three points clear at the top of the table. Despite Alexander Isak and Sven Botman getting on the scoresheet, goals from Mohamed Salah, Curtis Jones, and Cody Gakpo ensured three points for Jurgen Klopp's side. After a video showed the players as they went to the changing rooms after the full whistle, it seems Reds fans were even more appreciative. The video shows Diogo Jota - who was involved in a contentious penalty decision - and Joe Gomez with steadfast gazes on their faces.

Mohamed Salah scored two goals against the Magpies at Anfield, and the Reds came out as victors 4-2. Despite a turbulent penalty decision igniting indignation among pundits and followers, including Alan Shearer and Ian Wright, a good result for Liverpool who are now three points clear at the top of the table.

Last night, the Reds dominated proceedings at Anfield, defeating Newcastle 4-2. Despite Alexander Isak and Sven Botman scoring, goals from Mohamed Salah, Curtis Jones, and Cody Gakpo all secured three points for Jurgen Klopp's team.

Joe Gomez sent a ball over the Newcastle defense's roof, putting the England international on the side of the goal line.

During the match at Anfield last night, the Reds dominated but they were reduced to 3-2 after Sven Botman added to Alexander Isak's earlier goal. Liverpool were then given the opportunity to win when Diogo Jota was kicked clean through on goal. However, the Portuguese forward seemed to have been forced to leave after little contact was received from Martin Dubravka. Now, Mike Dean has explained why VAR decided not to intervene with the penalty decision despite fans who are blaming Jota for 'diving'.

After the Liverpool forward went down under minimal contact to win a penalty in the Reds' 4-2 victory, Newcastle legend Alan Shearer called Diogo Jota "f***ing embarrassing." Liverpool had dominated the game at Anfield but had their lead reduced to 3-2 when Sven Botman brought Newcastle back from a corner. When Jota was sent clean through on goal and rounded Martin Dubravka, the Reds had a chance to seal the deal.

During Liverpool's dramatic 4-3 Premier League match over Newcastle at Anfield, Gary Neville blasted Anthony Taylor's decision to give them their second penalty. For the bulk of the game, Jurgen Klopp's side squeaked, but they were only a goal behind in the closing stages after Sven Botman cut the deficit goals from Mohamed Salah, Curtis Jones, and Cody Gakpo's buildup after Alexander Isak's equalizer. When Diogo Jota ran through on goal and rounded Martin Dubravka, the Reds had a chance to win, but the Portuguese forward was forced to run the ball into an empty net.

LEWIS STEELE AT ANFIELD: Liverpool defeated Newcastle 4-2 at Anfield on Monday night, putting them three points up at the top of the Premier League. Mohamed Salah, on his last appearance before heading off to AFCON with Egypt, appeared to be in for a difficult night after seeing his first half penalty saved by Martin Dubrakva. He made amends to put his team ahead of Alexander Isak's equalization before he was defeated. Curtis Jones and Cody Gakpo put the Reds in command, but Sven Botman threatened a Newcastle comeback.

In their Premier League match against Newcastle, Mohamed Salah missed his first-half penalty before Trent Alexander-Arnold fired over the bar from the back. The Reds jumped into the game top of the table and decided to stretch their lead over Aston Villa in second to three points. After only 20 minutes when Luis Diaz was knocked down in the box by Sven Botman, they were given a chance to break the deadlock.

Manchester United's plans for Saturday night's Premier League match against Newcastle United were jeopardized after their flight was postponed. On Saturday morning, Erik ten Hag's crew was scheduled to fly north-east from Manchester Airport at 11 a.m. However, when the passengers arrived at the airport to drop their cars off at 10 a.m., they were told that due to the weather and technical difficulties, their flight was cancelled.

Premier League clubs are gearing up for wall-to-wall fixtures between now and the year's final international break of 2023. Many in Europe will no doubt have to handle the most demanding runs over the holiday season, with Manchester City, Newcastle, and Liverpool all set for dramatic turnarounds. December is a crucial moment in Premier League management as it determines what kind of season they will be having. If you're looking for a new year, make it a fruitful one. The fixtures must be handled properly, and the wheels can be removed quickly.

At Vitality Stadium, the forward collapsed to the ground after suffering a suspected hamstring injury and was unable to continue following medic checks. Matt Ritchie, a veteran winger, was brought on to assist him. Eddie Howe's long list of absentees now stands at 12, with key names including Callum Wilson, Bruno Guimaraes, Alexander Isak, and Sven Botman among those ruled out. Last year, Almiron was dogged by a similar issue and was banned from playing for multiple matches. He is now in danger of being barred from participating in this election.
