Steve Bruce’s updated 25-man squad has now been confirmed by the Premier League, with the club making 3 changes.
Jetro Willems (loan ended early following knee injury), Paul Dummett (out for the season via injury) and Ki Sung-yueng (released) drop out, being replaced by new boys Danny Rose, Valentino Lazaro & Nabil Bentaleb.
Elsewhere, there’s still no room for Henri Saivet and Jack Colback.
Here’s our updated 25-man squad for the remainder of the season (* = Players qualifying as ‘homegrown’):
Almiron Rejala, Miguel Angel
Apolinario De Lira, Joelinton Cassio
Bentaleb, Nabil*
Carroll, Andrew Thomas*
Clark, Ciaran*
Darlow, Karl*
Dubravka, Martin
Elliot, Robert*
Fernandez, Federico
Gayle, Dwight Devon Boyd*
Hayden, Isaac Scot*
Krafth, Emil Henry Kristoffer
Lascelles, Jamaal*
Lazaro, Valentin Lando
Lejeune, Florian Gregoire Claude
Longstaff, Sean David*
Manquillo Gaitan, Javier
Muto, Yoshinori
Ritchie, Matthew Thomas*
Rose, Daniel Lee*
Saint Maximin, Allan Irenee
Schar, Fabian Lukas
Shelvey, Jonjo*
Twasam, Christian Atsu
Yedlin, Deandre.
No real surprises here, with unfortunate injuries to Willems and Dummett and Ki’s release making room for our three new boys.
Where’s Matty?
