Newcastle United's Champions League experience will come with international benefits for Toon duo

Newcastle United duo Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson remain in pole position to win places in Gareth Southgate's squad for next summer's European Championships.

Trippier was not involved for the 7-0 win over North Macedonia last night at Old Trafford but is an integral part of Southgate's squad and if fit and in form is likely to be involved should England continue their march towards Germany 2024. Wilson had a stint out of the England squad after the World Cup after a slight dip in form.
