- BBC Sport reported that he fractured his right fibula and would miss the rest of the season – BBC Sport editorial publication.

- He returned to full fitness in August 2026 and was available for the Premier League opener – NewcastleWorld regional outlet.
- Transfermarkt lists him as a 20‑year‑old central midfielder still contracted to Newcastle United – Transfermarkt recognised database.
The club’s injury update created a clear timeline – fracture in May, surgery, return by pre‑season – but the contract announcement remains an Instagram caption without official confirmation of figures.
Why is Lewis Miley not playing?

Is Lewis Miley in FC 26?
- FC 26 is a video‑game availability query. No official EA Sports card or database appears in the provided sources. The number 67 in search results may refer to a potential in‑game rating, but no current card confirms it.
Why is Lewis Miley absent from recent Newcastle lineups?
- The most recent absence is explained by the fractured fibula. Since his return in August 2026, no official source reports a new injury or selection issue.
If Miley disappears from matchday squads again without a club statement, the absence will be conjecture. For now, the medical timeline accounts for every gap.
How much does Lewis Miley get paid?

- Salary figures are not published by Newcastle United or the Premier League.
What is Lewis Miley’s market value?
- Transfermarkt provides an estimated market value (not stated in provided research notes).
- Third‑party sites offer widely varying weekly wage estimates.
Does Newcastle United publish player salaries?
- No. All salary figures in the public domain come from aggregators that use estimates and leak reports.
Three third‑party sites, three different numbers. Here is how they compare for Lewis Miley.
| Source | Reported weekly wage | Reported annual salary |
|---|---|---|
| Spotrac (tier3) | ~$25,000 | $1.3 million (avg) |
| Capology (tier3) | ~£5,000 | £260,000 |
| SalaryLeaks (tier3) | ~£45,000 | £2.3 million |
The pattern: no two sources agree, and none are official. For a young player with no public contract announcement, the actual figure could sit anywhere in that range.
