All three key Newcastle players appear to have survived their international break, with Tim Krul watching on as Daryl Janmaat and the Dutch team beat Spain.
Mesut Ozil struggles to convince Arsenal fans a £42m price tag was justified, going clubbing only hours after missing Newacstle through ‘illness’ won’t help.
It is curious from a Newcastle point of view that Shola is saying he is fully fit and over a week ago he was also saying he would definitely be ok for international duty. Yet at Cardiff on Saturday he wasn’t even on the bench.
Shola; “I would love to play for Nigeria under Stephen Keshi because he is a good coach, above all I’m very proud to be a Nigerian and will always grab the opportunity to don the green & white colours of my fatherland.”
While some of our players are parading around in their speedos in Las Vegas; Jonas, Rob Elliot, Shola etc at James Perch’s stag do. Other players though continue with playing commitments this summer.
A largely disappointing international night on the pitch for the Newcastle United contingent but for United fans the good news is that there are no reported injuries.
With Newcastle coming off the back of those two excellent but vital wins, it would have been a sick joke if say when Colo came on for Argentina in the 87th minute of a meaningless friendly he’d suffered some freak injury.
