In this international fortnight, it was the turn of Elliot Anderson and Chris Wood on Thursday.
The ten Newcastle United players on international duty facing a combined total of 19 international matches before then the lead up to NUFC’s next game, away at Fulham in eight days time.
A comfortable 3-1 win for the Scotland Under 21s away from home against their Northern Ireland counterparts but doing it without Elliot Anderson, The Telegraph reporting that the Newcastle teenager pulled out of the squad due to an unspecified injury.
A case of more action off the pitch than on it for Newcastle’s internationals so far, with Alexander Isak having already withdrawn from the Sweden squad due to injury. Whilst Bruno Guimaraes has had a thigh problem this week and is a big doubt for Brazil against Ghana later today.
Meanwhile, Chris Wood and New Zealand missed out at the final stage, defeated in a June play-off against Costa Rica for a place in the Qatar World Cup finals.
Now in a double header friendly against Australia (who are going to Qatar), Chris Wood played the first 71 minutes on Thursday in a 1-0 defeat. Teenage striker Garang Kuol, who was recently claimed to be set to sign for Newcastle, remained an unused substitute in his first call up to the Australian national senior squad.
Full schedule for Newcastle United internationals this month:
Wednesday 21 September
Ryan Fraser coming on with 14 minutes to go and Scotland leading 1-0, within 11 minutes it was 3-0 as fellow sub Lyndon Dykes scored twice, both assists from the Newcastle winger.
