Newcastle United squad getting back together – Flying off in 8 days time | OneFootball

The Newcastle United squad are currently having some down time.

An excellent win at St James’ Park over Chelsea, the perfect way to conclude what has been an astonishing run of form and results leading up to this extensive World Cup gap without proper football.

Since the September 2022 international break, the Newcastle United squad played nine matches, winning eight and drawing one, scoring twenty one goals and conceding only four.

In the process, picking up 22 points from a possible 24 and progressing through to the fourth round of the League Cup.

Before of course the Qatar World Cup splitting up the season.

Kieran Trippier, Bruno G, Fabian Schar, Nick Pope and Callum Wilson at the tournament, whilst the rest of the Newcastle United squad following a bit of a different route…

The Newcastle United non-World Cup participants are currently having a fortnight or so away from formal training.

The first week was holiday, now their time away from the training ground is partly still rest and relaxation but also working on personally tailored training programmes. Major work is going on to improve the training ground, so the absence of the players allowing that work to currently proceed at a faster pace.

However, for the Newcastle United squad, they will shortly be coming back together and then flying off in eight days time as preparations get serious again, ahead of the return of competitive action in 25 days time…
