Ryan Fraser Injuries

'Ryan is training with the Under-21s. I made the decision to concentrate on the players that are focused on Newcastle for the benefit of the group.'

'Ryan’s got a calf problem. [We're] not sure how serious that is. I think everyone else, hopefully, has come through OK.'

'Ryan, I couldn't bring on because he was feeling his groin in the warm-up. He would've been a very important player if we [could] use him, but we didn't have that luxury.'

"He had a slight back spasm on Thursday and Friday. He was close to making the game but not fit." 'Ryan we hope will be fit and available. He had a back spasm last week, so he was a late withdrawal from the Brighton game.'

"Ryan returned to training yesterday which is great to see. He trained very well so fingers crossed he's fine."

"I think there’s a few boys in the dressing room nursing little things today. You saw a few of them stretching on the pitch. It was a big physical effort. Hopefully, Ryan will be OK."

"I think he said, as he was coming, that his hamstring was a little bit sore but we’ll see. It could be a bit of fatigue or cramp in there."

"Ryan had a very slight hamstring problem but I expect him to be in contention."

"He's trained the last couple of days and put himself in contention. Thankfully it wasn't as bad as everyone thought when he was on crutches and in a boot but he's OK."

"They haven't joined in [with the group]. They're both probably raring to go but with five days to go... why risk them?"

"Ryan has trained [but] we’re now going to give him another few days. He may be involved on Tuesday or at Arsenal."

"It was the right call [to leave him out at Tottenham]. We'll see how he trains [today], but he's in contention for tomorrow."

"Ryan got a knock on his leg, a dead leg really. We didn’t see him at training in the early part of this week, but hopefully he’ll be okay."

"We’ll make a late call on Ryan Fraser, looking at his injury and see how he is ahead of the game."

"Ryan took a nasty knock in the first-half, we hope that's okay."

"Fraser was also carrying a slight problem. We played him and it looks like he may have tweaked something."

"We'll have to see with Ryan. He's been carrying a hamstring injury for a few weeks, we'll see and make a late decision, but he's certainly a doubt."

"A hamstring problem so has been working with our medical team since he returned [from International duty]."

Rested as a precaution at Brighton. "He’s come through that period fine, so we expect everything to be good with him from this point."

"Ryan is 50/50 at the minute to make the game, we'll get his hamstring checked."

"Should be okay," according to Eddie Howe.
