Newcastle United players featuring most in pre-season – 450 minutes maximum and only 180 more to go | OneFootball

With only 12 days to go until Newcastle travel to Aston Villa, interesting to see how many minutes on the pitch for each of the Newcastle United players in the pre-season friendlies.

So have the right players got the right number of minutes this summer?

Newcastle United have played Carlisle, Celtic, Arsenal, Team K-League All Stars and Spurs, with a maximum of 450 minutes available for each player (ignoring injuries, extended leave due to international duty etc).

With only next weekend’s St James’ Park double against Espanyol and Atletico Madrid still to come ahead of the serious stuff.

These are the highest to lowest in terms of minutes for Newcastle United players so far in pre-season (Just in case the breakdown for each player needs explaining: CA = Carlisle, CE = Celtic, A = Arsenal, TK = Team K-League All Stars and S = Spurs):
