Nine current Newcastle United players are on international duty over the next week or so. Here’s every Magpies star involved and the fixtures they could feature in.

It’s been a difficult few weeks for Newcastle United. The depleting loss to Manchester City in the FA Cup means that Eddie Howe‘s side can no longer obtain silverware this season.

Newcastle also sit 10th in the Premier League, in what seems like light years from a potential Champions League spot. This is why the international break may have come at a good time for the first-team squad.

There are a total of nine players set to ball out for their countries. Find out who right here on Geordie Boot Boys…
