The Newcastle United internationals are drawing to a close.

Tuesday sees potentially up to five NUFC players getting a game (details below) before heading back to Tyneside.

The Arsenal game moved to Monday for TV, means no issues regarding selection being affected by players arriving back late from international duty.

Good news on Monday night for Rafa Benitez, as after starring and scoring in the 3-1 win over Argentina, Salomon Rondon was given a shift off against a Catalonia side.

Venezuela lost 2-1 with goals from Krkic and Puado for the home side, whilst after making that brilliant pass for Rondon’s goal against Argentina, Rosales turned goalscorer this time for the consolation.

The Venezuelan manager making seven second-half substitutions but the NUFC striker remaining on the bench.

Elsewhere on Monday, a friendly in Marbella saw Denmark Under 20s lose 1-0 to Romania.

Elias Sorensen travelled for the friendly but appears to have sat this one out as well.

Not a lot of media coverage of this one but whilst two Sorensens were listed as being  involved, neither of them appears to be ours. Jacob Sorensen of Esbjerg looks to have started the game, with then Asger Sorensen of Regensburg appearing as a sub in this defeat.
