Newcastle United confirm 25-man Premier League squad as senior duo miss out

Newcastle United have confirmed their 25-man squad for the first half of the Premier League season.

Only two senior players have been left out in the form of Mark Gillespie and Emil Krafth, who has been sidelined in recent weeks with an ACL injury. Eddie Howe has named Jonjo Shelvey and Karl Darlow in the squad despite injuries, with both expected to be back before the season breaks for the World Cup.

A United statement read: "Premier League clubs are required to submit their squad lists, with summer signings Alexander Isak, Sven Botman, Matt Targett and Nick Pope all included for the Magpies, as is recent arrival Loris Karius, who signed a short-term deal with the Magpies last week.

"Defender Krafth who suffered an anterior cruciate ligament knee injury in the Carabao Cup win over Tranmere Rovers, misses out on a place, while Jonjo Shelvey and Karl Darlow who are both expected to return to action before the Sweden international - are named.

"The list only covers contracted players over the age of 21, meaning younger players like 19-year-old Elliot Anderson - who has impressed for Eddie Howe's side this term - are still eligible to feature but do not need to be included on the list."
