Matty Longstaff will get a reserve team run out this coming Monday as he looks to ease his way back after injury.

Longstaff has been suffering with a long-term thigh strain and had hoped to be back for Newcastle’s senior clash with Manchester United on Saturday.

Longstaff scored the winner last season when Newcastle beat Manchester United 1-0 at home, but has since been in and out of the starting XI through various knocks.
