Kevin Mbabu has not been shy in outlining his desire to prove Newcastle United made a 'mistake' letting him go. The full-back made just five senior appearances before the Magpies decided to cut their losses and allowed the academy graduate to return to his native Switzerland.
Six years on from his Newcastle exit, Mbabu is back in the Premier League and could face his former employers for the first time at Craven Cottage on Saturday. Fulham have made a fine start to life back in the top-flight, and Marco Silva's side will be hoping to take advantage of an injury crisis which will likely see the Magpies deprived of several key stars.
Injuries hampered Mbabu's start to life at St James' Park after signing in 2013, and the former Servette prospect would not make a single start during a loan spell at Rangers. A temporary spell at Gateshead was mooted, but before long the full-back found himself catapulted into the senior setup.
