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.

1893 Woolwich Arsenal (h) 6-0 (2-0) Division Two P3, 3pts, 10th/15th  Wallace(5,3-0,6-0), Thompson(2-0,4-0,5-0) 32,000  Following a 2-2 draw in London earlier that month, Newcastle memorably won the first meeting of these sides at Gallowgate. Tyneside-born goalkeeper William Lowery had a gentle introduction to league football, watching watched his new colleagues power through the Gunners.  This match also marked the only first team appearance of Isaac Ryder, a locally-born inside left who played most of his football in United's Northern Alliance side. This was only United's third game of the season, while leaders Burslem Port Vale had played (and won) seven. 1899 Bury (a) 1-2 (1-2) Division One P5, 7pts, 6th/18  Niblo(65)  Wood(2), McLuckie(15) 3,568 1905 Sheffield Wednesday (a) 1-1 (1-0) Division One P7, 5pts, 15th/21 McClarence(6)  Crawshaw(77) 16,000 1908 Glasgow Rangers (Scotland) (h) 4-1 (2-0) Friendly  Higgins(1-0,2-0,3-1,4-1) og(Pudan)(2-1) 8,000 Proceeds from this friendly match went to a Distress Fund established for the local poor.

Jack Ball this time stepped up and scored. 1944 Sunderland (h) 1-5 (1-1) Wartime Milburn(40) Whitelum(9,46,86), Walshaw(61), Spuhler(84)  28,693 1950 Sheffield Wednesday (a) 0-0 (0-0) Division One P11, 16pts, 1st/22  40,000 United secured a hard-won point at Hillsborough, where Joe Harvey was spoken to on several occasions by referee Cowan - who had been the Newcastle player's Army Sergeant Major.  1961 Luton Town (h) 4-1 (3-0) Division Two P10, 8pts, 18th/22  Allchurch(5), Hughes(22), Hale(29), White(48) McGuffie(51) 22,452 United were set on the way to a first home win in four league games when Ivor Allchurch struck early on, despite having lost the captaincy to Bill McKinney that day. Off the field however there was discord in the dressing room, with Ken Leek's omission from the side soon confirmed to have followed his submitting a transfer request: "I have never played so poorly and as my wife and I have not really settled on Tyneside, the best thing could be a quick move". 1964 Plymouth Argyle (a) 1-2 (0-0) Division Two P10, 14pts, 1st/22  McGarry(68)  Jackson(47), Trebilcock(51) 21,639 The Magpies lost at Home Park for the first time in six league and cup visits dating back to 1947. However, Joe Harvey's side made the long trek back from Devon aggrieved that the Argyle winner was allowed to stand, despite scorer Mike Trebilcock standing yards offside. 1967 Arsenal (h) 2-1 (1-0) Division One P10, 10pts, 13th/22  Davies(33), Robson(66pen)  Graham(58) 33,350 For the second successive Saturday, Newcastle were grateful to Pop Robson's penalty-taking prowess in order to secure victory.  1970 Inter Milan (Italy) (h) 2-0 (1-0) (3-1 on aggregate) Fairs Cup 1st Round 2nd Leg Moncur(29), Davies(70) Vieri(32) 56,495 After receiving some rough treatment in the San Siro as they drew 1-1 in the first leg, United knew what to expect - and weren't disappointed. Inter captain Giacinto Facchetti (aka "hacchetti") singled Wyn Davies out for special treatment, while Tommy Gibb was punched in the face by Roberto Boninsegna - who escaped punishment. With United 1-0 up, Inter 'keeper Lido Vieri was sent off for punching referee Joseph Minnoy. He was later fined £660 and banned from international football for three years. Writing in The Journal, former Magpie Ivor Broadis described the Inter antics thus:  "Pushing, punching, body-checking – you name it, Inter threw it all at Newcastle in a morass of Italian skullduggery." 1972 Everton (a) 1-3 (1-1) Division One P11, 11pts, 12th/22  Barrowclough(25) Connolly(8), Royle(83), Johnson(87)  33,028 Future Magpie John Connolly scored for the Toffees, while an injury to Malcolm Macdonald meant that there was a rare outing for Gordon Hodgson. 1978 Notts County (a) 2-1 (1-0) Division Two P8, 9pts, 8th/22  Bird(41), Connolly(82) Hooks(62)  11,362 Following a defeat at Millwall and 0-0 draws at Cambridge United and Wrexham, Bill McGarry's side notched up a first away win of the season at Meadow Lane. John Connolly netted his first Newcastle goal on his ninth appearance.  1989 Hull City (a) 3-1 (1-1) Division Two P9, 17pts, 3rd/24  Anderson(17), Brazil(71), McGhee(75)  McParland(13) 9,629  Mark McGhee chalked up the first goal of his second SJP spell on a sunny Saturday afternoon at Boothferry Park. Youtube footage is online here 1992 Leicester City (h) 4-0 (2-0) Anglo Italian Cup  Brock(10), Quinn(44pen,84), Sheedy(59)  14,046  As a measure of United's strength in depth and lack of interest in this competition, only four of the previous Saturday's game started this match. 1996 Aston Villa (h) 4-3 (3-1) Premier League P8, 18pts, 2nd/20  Ferdinand(5,22), Shearer(38), Howey(67) Yorke(4,59,69)  36,400  A Sky Monday evening game where Dwight Yorke managed to score a hat trick and have a perfectly good goal disallowed but still finish on the losing side. PL highlights are online here 1999 CSKA Sofia (Bulgaria) (h) 2-2 (1-1) (4-2 agg) UEFA 1st Round 2nd Leg Shearer(36), Robinson(88) Litera(29), Simeonov(90) 36,228 After the eight goal hammering of Sheffield Wednesday in the previous home game, this was comparatively underwhelming - although the business of making it through to the next round was achieved with something to spare. After CSKA took a shock lead when Steve Harper was lobbed from distance, Alan Shearer levelled with a close range effort.  Paul Robinson then replaced Silvio Maric in the closing stages and looked to have won it when he diverted a Stephen Glass cross into the goal via his standing foot. The Bulgarians however equalised in the final seconds of the game when one of their substitutes headed in at the far post. NUFC.com match report 2000 Manchester City (a) 1-0 (0-0) Premiership P8, 13pts, 3rd/20 Shearer(74) 34,497 What proved to be United's last away win at Maine Road came when Alan Shearer headed past old boy Tommy Wright in the home goal. Steve Caldwell made his league debut for the Magpies, replacing injury victim Andy Griffin at half time. While the young Scot did well though, it was the introduction of livewire sub Lomana LuaLua that galvanised Newcastle into a first league success in four attempts. NUFC.com match report. PL highlights are online here 2000 There was Gold Medal success for future Magpie Geremi, who netted in a penalty shootout as Cameroon beat Spain in the final of the Olympic Football Tournament in Sydney. The final score was 2-2 after 120 minutes. 2001 Liverpool (h) 0-2 (0-1) Premiership P7, 11pts, 8th/20 Riise(3), Murphy(86) 52,095 The appearance of the Sky cameras at SJP was enough to see United suffer their first home loss in 12 matches and extend our winless run on the satellite broadcaster to nine fixtures.

However, the arrival of Yohan Cabaye in place of Hatem Ben Arfa for the second period had an instant impact when he shot home.   And after Loic Remy poked in to set up a frantic finale, the on-loan forward shot wide in added time as a second Lazarus-like comeback in as many seasons at Goodison fell just short. NUFC.com match report PL highlights are online here 2016 Following a 3-2 league victory over Swansea City at Whitley Park, the U23 sides faced each other again at the same venue in a cup tie four days later which ended in an instantly forgettable goalless stalemate.

Playing at Rodney Parade for the first time, United were heading out of  the competition until a fine solo strike from Jonjo Shelvey sent the tie to penalties. And for once Newcastle avoided their usual shootout humiliation, goalkeeper Mark Gillespie saving one spot kick in a 5-4 victory. NUFC.com match report 2022 The U21s won a first away point of the season with a 1-1 draw against Boro - but were denied victory by an a late equaliser at Bishop Auckland's Heritage Park.

Anthony Gordon was then sent tumbling in the box and Alexander Isak tucked away the penalty award in the absence of the injured Callum Wilson.    Ten goals, six points and two clean sheets in seven days also saw United advance to the last 16 of the Carabao Cup by beating Premier League Champions Manchester City .
