Friendlies: NUFC
confirm live streams 

NUFC are selling a Pre-Season Match Pass covering all five public first team warm-up games plus the NUWFC home kickabout against AC Milan Women.

Passes cost £24.95 with MAGS members receiving an email with a discount code taking that to £14.95. For the avoidance of doubt, all season ticket holders are automatically enrolled as MAGs members. 

To obtain that reduction, passes must be ordered before 11.59pm BST on Friday.

MAGS+ members can view the two Japanese friendlies free of charge and buy a Match pass covering the remaining three games for £8.99. Season ticket holders can pay £10 to upgrade the MAGS membership they are automatically enrolled with to MAGS+.

Individual games can also be viewed for a fee.

Update:
Tonali returns 

Ahead of Saturday's visit to Hull City, Newcastle played a training game on Wednesday against Burnley.

Details remain scarce (amid online claims of a 2-3 loss), but The Times confirm that Sandro Tonali featured for the Magpies - his first appearance since October 2023, when the midfielder began a ban for breaking betting regulations.

That suspension ends late next month but extends to include any non-competitive games registered with the FA, meaning that Tonali isn't able to feature in any of United's public pre-season friendlies.

Now managed by ex-Magpie Scott Parker, this is the third time in four years that Burnley have provided pre-season opposition in similar training games, having done so in both 2021 and 2022. 

It's anticipated that a further training game of this nature will be organised by Newcastle to give Tonali more pitch time ahead of his competitive comeback.

PS: Originally claimed to have been played at Burnley's Gawthorpe Training Centre, a clip has emerged online purporting to show one of Burnley's goals - which looks to have been filmed at Darsley Park.....

Update:
Dawson departs 

Newcastle United Development Coach Ben Dawson has left the club with immediate effect to take up a first team coaching role at Leicester City.

His departure ends a decade-long association with the Magpies that included periods in charge of the U18 and U21 sides and a brief stint as interim first team boss ahead of the 2019/20 campaign.

Also moving to the Foxes from Crystal Palace is physio James Haycock, who was previously at Gallowgate. 

Dawson's departure leaves the Magpies with vacancies at both U18 and U21 Lead Coach level, following the departure of Graeme Carrick to join brother Michael at Boro earlier this summer.

Hull City (a) 

Newcastle play the first of five advertised pre-season friendlies this Saturday, when they travel to Humberside for a meeting with the Championship Tigers.

It's a 2pm kick-off and all 4,500 away section tickets have been sold.

Team: to follow

Injury deprives United of Callum Wilson, Lewis Miley, Matt Targett, Jamaal Lascelles and Sven Botman, while Lloyd Kelly, Joe Willock and Tino Livramento weren't fit enough play in Saturday's behind closed doors kickabout against SpVgg Unterhaching.

Miguel Almiron, Martin Dubravka, Anthony Gordon, Bruno Guimaraes, Fabian Schar and Kieran Trippier were granted extra time off following post-season international duty.

Sandro Tonali remains ineligible to play pending the end of his ban.

HCFC: Defender Cody Drameh is in line to make his debut after signing from Leeds in midweek.

German-born coach Tim Walter was installed at Hull in late May following a season when they finished seventh and missed out on the promotion playoffs by three points.

So far this season, City have drawn 1-1 with Kasimpasa and lost 1-5 to Fenerbache, both games played in Turkey. 

Ahead of facing Newcastle, Hull made the short trip to Doncaster Rovers on Tuesday - a young XI losing 0-4.
