Eddie Howe says he would not hesitate to hand one of Newcastle United's emerging young stars a full debut if the upcoming fixture is appropriate.
The head coach has named teenager Lucas De Bolle on the bench four times in recent weeks and he has been a regular in senior training. The 19-year-old's range of passing was on show in the dramatic 4-3 win over West Bromwich Albion last Monday night at St James' Park.
Howe has been impressed with De Bolle's performances at Benton alongside the first-team squad and hinted that senior bow may follow. Howe told Chronicle Live: "No I would have no hesitation if I felt they were the right selection to win the game. Lucas is someone we really like and has been training with us for a long period of time.
