It’s going to be a busy summer off the pitch for Newcastle United as we push to improve the squad, but there’s plenty to play for on the field as several members of our squad are on international duty.
We have Kieran Trippier, Anthony Gordon (England), Fabian Schar (Switzerland) and Martin Dubravka (Slovakia) at the Euros, Bruno Guimaraes (Brazil) and Miguel Almiron (Paraguay) at Copa America, Yankuba Minteh in World Cup qualifying action for Gambia and friendlies for Alexander Isak, Emil Krafth and Jamal Lewis.
