However, persistent setbacks have delayed his progress. As of late February 2025, Lascelles began individual training sessions, including running on grass, but was not yet participating in team activities. Manager Eddie Howe stated that Lascelles is "probably looking towards the end of the season as a return date." (Source: Newcaste United).
Given the timeline, Lascelles may not feature in Newcastle's upcoming fixtures until May 2025.
