Lewis Hall News: Returns in friendly

Hall (foot) played 20 minutes in Sunday's pre-season friendly against Tottenham, confirming he is back available for Newcastle.

Hall suffered a season-ending foot injury but is back fit, having featured for 20 minutes in Sunday's pre-season friendly to mark his return. Hall was an undisputed starter at left-back before his injury and should reclaim that spot in the coming games after gradually building his competitive fitness.
