There was an “awkward” encounter over breakfast when Jonjo Shelvey met Jack Colback as a new teammate first time around.
There would have been no such difficulties to navigate now they are reunited at Nottingham Forest, though. The two midfielders forged a strong bond during their time together at Newcastle United.
Colback left the Magpies to sign for the Reds permanently in 2020, following two loan spells. Shelvey has now made the same move, leaving St James’ Park after seven years to join Forest on deadline day last week.
