Newcastle United defender Jamal Lewis has been handed the perfect chance to revive his stalling career after being called up to the Northern Ireland squad for the upcoming international break. The left-back's first-team opportunities on Tyneside have been limited in recent months after injury struggles and the form of summer addition Matt Targett.
Lewis featured in the Carabao Cup win over Tranmere but will find first-team minutes with Newcastle hard to come by this term, despite being included in Eddie Howe 's 25-man Premier League squad.
The Magpies boss left Lewis out of the first-team plans for the second-half of last term, with many expecting his departure in January or over the summer. Now, the player must seize the huge chance to prove his fitness and improve his form against Kosovo and Greece later this month.
