Newcastle news round-up for Wednesday 11 November, updated 05:54 UK.
Several Magpies are away with their countries this week, and the club’s website lists the names.
Dan Burn has been named in England’s squad to replace Marc Guehi, who withdrew with an injury. BBC Sport carried the change on Monday. Burn came in as a late addition, and he joins the group for the games this week.
Malick Thiaw is in Germany’s squad for games against Serbia and the Netherlands. Germany play Serbia in Belgrade on Friday 13 November and the Netherlands at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on Monday 16 November, according to the club’s website.
Jacob Murphy scored his first Premier League goal in 19 games in the 1-1 draw at Fulham on Saturday. On Monday he called the result “a point in the right direction”, and he admitted the side has not been consistent. “We’ve not been consistent with it,” he said. Newcastle had lost two in a row to Everton before the trip to Craven Cottage, and Murphy’s point was about finding that consistency. The full quotes are on the BBC Sport club page.
Alex Murphy and Rory Finneran have both been picked in the Republic of Ireland Under-21 squad for a play-off against Finland. The first leg is in Tampere on Friday 13 November, and the second leg is in Cork four days later. The club’s website lists both as Magpies.
Newcastle are one of several clubs watching Ismaelo Ganiou, the 21-year-old French defender at Lens. Chelsea, Brentford, Fulham, Manchester City and Tottenham are also named in the TEAMtalk report that the BBC Sport gossip column ran on Monday. Being watched is a long way from a bid.
Roman Dowell and Kyran Thompson, both Newcastle academy players, are in the England Under-18 squad. England face the Netherlands in Valencia today at 2pm UK time, then Sweden on Saturday 14 November at 11am and Switzerland on Monday 16 November at 3pm. All three games are at the Oliva Nova, according to the club’s website.
Goalkeeper Lukas Horníček has been named in the Czechia squad for their games against Spain and Croatia this week. The club’s website lists the call-up, with no injury or withdrawal mentioned.
Newcastle have no club fixture for ten days, and the next one is at home to Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday 21 November. The BBC fixture list has the same date and kick-off time.

Joelinton missed the Fulham game, and Jaissle said the club still had to work out a treatment plan and how long he would be out.
