Lewis watched from the bench as England lost to the World Champions at Wembley. Former Magpies Elliot Anderson and Anthony Gordon started - the latter adding to his goal tally.

Coach Thomas Tuchel explained his omission as follows:

"He missed some training sessions with a bit of an injury scare, Lewis Hall, and that is why I was a bit hesitant to put him out there today.

"He is an option, he trained well at the end of the week but he was out of training at the start, we didn't want to take any risk because there was high speed running to do and defending against Lamine Yamal."

Update:
Coach arrival

From the Daily Record, Tuesday:

Newcastle United are set to raid Kilmarnock for their goalkeeping coach Fraser Stewart.

Killie’s head of goalkeeping is set to join the Magpies’ U21 set-up. The shock move leaves Kilmarnock boss Neil McCann looking for a replacement.

The 37-year-old has been in post at Killie for the last four years. He has worked under Derek McInnes, Stuart Kettlewell and now McCann.

Stewart previously worked with the Scottish Football Association where he was the head of goalkeeping for the Scotland under-21s and Women’s teams.

It had been predicted by some media outlets that Stewart would be reunited with McInnes at Rangers, but his next place of work looks set to be Gallowgate not Ibrox.

Update:
Mair the merrier....

Goalkeeper George Mair marked his 17th birthday on Monday by putting pen to paper on a first professional contract with Newcastle United.

The Darlington-born player joined the Magpies in 2018, making his U18 debut during April 2025 and enjoying a successful introduction to the U21 side this season.

Mair joins the likes of Sam Alabi, Oliver Goodbrand, Alfie Hutchison, Isaac Moran, Mason Miley, Michael Mills and Kyran Thompson in signing first pro deals at SJP in 2026.

Update:
Coke adds life...and SCR

As was leaked via social media some weeks ago, United have now confirmed their latest commercial partner with Coca-Cola agreeing a multi-year deal.

As part of the commercial arrangement with the soft drinks manufacturer, they also gain naming rights to the STACK adjacent to SJP. That most recently appeared with KNOX branding, following the end of the SELA sponsorship.

Update:
Bairns reunited

Newcastle United backroom boy Jack Ross has taken to social media biography to reveal a new job title, that of Assistant Sporting Director.

The 50 year-old Scot will work for 42 year-old Sporting Director and fellow Falkirk native Ross Wilson, the duo serving their hometown club some 20 years ago; Ross as a player and Wilson head of Football Administration. 

That's the latest in a number of positions Ross has held since joining United's academy staff during 2023, most recently as head of Football Strategy reporting to Wilson.

Confirmation of a new title for Ross comes as Andy Howe departs from his Senior Football Executive role at SJP.
