Is it happening!?
Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson has resumed first-team training after a prolonged absence due to a pectoral injury and he’s expected back on the pitch before the season is over, according to Chris Waugh of The Athletic.
Wilson, 32, suffered the injury during the game played at Nottingham Forest on February 10, more than two months ago. He’s been out since then, and he left the field visibly injured as he savagely built a makeshift sling to wrap his arm as soon as possible right there on the grass.

Hall is nothing but assured to become a full-time Magpie.
In a recent Q&A over The Athletic, Newcastle beat reporter Chris Waugh answered a few questions related to the club and the home stretch of the season.
One reader asked Waugh if adding a “permanent-buy clause“ to the deal with Chelsea for defender Lewis Hall was a mistake, mostly because of Newcastle’s “tight” PSR position.
To that, Waugh explained that it’s s till early to come up with a definitive answer.
“It is difficult for me to say categorically one way or the other whether it was a “mistake ..read more

Sped-up VAR decisions? We’ll have to see it to believe it.
The Premier League is set to improve its use of tech by implementing semi-automated offside technology, mostly to speed up VAR decision-making processes, according to The Guardian.
The new system is expected to be operational by next season fall and the main goal of its introduction is trimming the average VAR review time by approximately 31 seconds. That’s because this new technology will use camera footage alongside tracking software to accurately determine players’ positions during off ..read more

One of us!
Newcastle United announced on April 11 the extension of Joelinton’s contract, securing the Brazilian midfielder’s services for the foreseeable future at St. James’ Park under an undisclosed “long-term” deal.
The 27-year-old Brazil midfielder was one of the heftiest purchases by the pre-PIF ownership, arriving in Tyneside before the Saudi contingent did and expected to score goals from a forward position instead of eating the whole pitch as a box-to-box midfielder.
Joelinton has transitioned from a forward to a more influentia ..read more

Brazilian retained.
Newcastle United is on the verge of securing a new deal to extend the presence of Brazil international and Magpie box-to-box midfielder Joelinton for the next four years, according to Lee Davey of talkSport.
The club, which had been engaged in some early discussions with the Brazilian and his representatives, was once feared to have minimal chances of securing an extension because of the hefty salary demands by Joelinton, but both parties seem to have ironed out those differences and are approaching the agreement of a new deal.

Newcastle United, like all clubs across Europe operating under the FFP rules, is currently facing a tough balancing act, as already told openly by the club’s management at the start of the year when new CEO Darren Eales said so.
This approach is not driven by an immediate necessity to sell before buying but rather by a broader strategy to maintain financial equilibrium. Newcastle, for the uninitiated, is owned by the freaking Saudi Arabia PIF, which might be a lot of things but it defin ..read more
