5. Kieran Trippier
Trippier has played in every one of Newcastle’s 27 games this season. Recently signed a contract extension.
6. Emil Krafth
It’s a long shot, but Krafth could be available for the final few years of the season.
7. Harrison Ashby (under-21)
Still only 21-years-old, so who best to learn off than Trippier?
8. Javier Manquillo
Manquillo is injured but is expected to be back available in three to four weeks.
