Newcastle United reveal the three players to miss out on their 25-man Premier League squad
Newcastle United have submitted their 25-man squad to the Premier League – with three players left out.
As expected, defenders Ciaran Clark and Jamal Lewis miss out, while the injured Isaac Hayden (knee) also makes way.
The loan departures of Jeff Hendrick and Freddie Woodman on deadline day made room in the squad following the January signings of Kieran Trippier, Chris Wood, Bruno Guimaraes, Matt Targett and Dan Burn.
A club statement read: “Newcastle United have named their 25-man squad for the second half of the 2021/22 Premier League season.
“The January transfer window closed on Monday night, meaning all Premier League clubs had to resubmit their squads to the league this week.
“Kieran Trippier, Chris Wood, Bruno Guimarães and Dan Burn all joined the Magpies during the window, while Matt Targett arrived on loan for the remainder of the campaign.
“Isaac Hayden suffered a long-term knee injury in December, so has not been named in the squad for the second part of the season, while defenders Ciaran Clark and Jamal Lewis also miss out.”
Here is Newcastle’s 25-man squad list for the second half of the season in full:
1. Martin Dubravka
Is Newcastle’s number one and it’s expected to remain that way for the remainder of the Premier League season. Potential injuries aside, of course.

3. Mark Gillespie
Gillespie, as accepted, is third choice and at best, will come in matchday squad if Dubravka or Darlow are unavailable.

4. Emil Krafth
Krafth has his critics on Tyneside but versatility works in the Sweden international's favour Can play as a centre-half or right-back.
