Newcastle United have submitted their official squad to UEFA for the 2023/24 Champions League group stage.

‘List A’ includes 23 senior players, while ‘List B’ will include two homegrown youngsters in Elliot Anderson and Lewis Miley; who’ll both be eligible to feature.

Four senior players have been left out which may not be a suprise to many NUFC fans, with Matt Ritchie, Javier Manquillo, Emil Krafth and Mark Gillespie all missing out of Eddie Howe’s squad.

Newcastle United loanee Yankuba Minteh has scored his first competitive goal for Feyenoord, scoring in Sunday’s 5-1 win over FC Utrecht.

After starting in their 6-1 win over Almere City last weekend, the Gambian teenager came off the bench and scored in stoppage time, rounding the goalkeeper and finishing calmly to seal another convincing victory for the Dutch champions.

This rounds off a positive few weeks for the 19-year-old winger, who was our first summer signing after sealing a £6m move from Danish side Odense.

Last month he helped spark a comeback draw away to local rivals Sparta Rotterdam, before starting his first Eredivisie game against Almere. Now, he’s come off the bench and bagged his first goal for the club.

The high Crown pub in Chester-le-Street has now put up a large SAFC crest on its front window after it was embroiled in controversy over its support of Newcastle United

The County Durham Pub had received a firestorm of online criticism from local supporters who pledged to boycott the venue for its NUFC mural, which had “Howay the Lads” written on it.

Since that time, the bar has been desperate to try and frame itself as a more neutral business in the bid to win back customers, having touched the well known “Durham Mag” sensitivity of Sunderland supporters.
