Potentially done for season
DNewcastle United
OUT
April 28, 2025
Targett may be done for the season after suffering a hamstring injury, according to manager Eddie Howe, per Ciaran Kelly of the Chronicle. "We also lost Matt Targett this week to a slight hamstring problem. Again, nothing serious but maybe enough to end his season."
ANALYSIS
Targett was not an option for Saturday's win against Ipswich, and his absence is now clearer after it was announced he suffered a slight hamstring injury. However, this is unfortunate, as it still may be enough to keep him out for the season. He will likely go through some medical treatment and start rehabilitation soon, but his chances of seeing the field again don't look good with only four matches left. This will be a tough way to end the season if this comes to fruition, as he has only played five times due to multiple absences this campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Magpies want him permanently
DNewcastle United
OUT
May 22, 2022
Newcastle want to sign Targett on a permanent basis, according to The Newcastle Chronicle.
ANALYSIS
Targett was one of the best players for Newcastle in the second half of the season, and the Tyneside club is keen to keep the Aston Villa loanee around on a permanent basis. The move could very well happen given the lack of minutes Targett had with the Midlands club.
