Newcastle’s inadequate defensive record may be rectified by Kieran Trippier’s return to the squad; it appears that Howe intends to recall him on Wednesday.

Kieran Trippier was introduced as a late substitute in the Brentford loss earlier this month and appeared for 25 minutes in the Leicester win. According to Hope, Trippier may be reinstated in the starting lineup on Wednesday.

Nevertheless, Trippier may depart Newcastle in 2025 after submitting a request to depart during the summer prior to the window closing.
