After booking their place in the Emirates FA Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday night, Newcastle United’s first team squad were back out on the training pitch on Thursday as attentions turn to Saturday’s trip to Southampton.
United’s 3-2 win at West Bromwich Albion in midweek set up a last-eight meeting with holders Manchester City at St. James’ Park but, with just over a fortnight until that cup clash with Pep Guardiola’s men, Steve Bruce’s side’s immediate focus is the long trip to the south coast for this weekend's Premier League fixture.
Federico Fernández – who netted the winner against the Saints when the two sides met on Tyneside earlier this term – was also in action, while Martin Dúbravka and Isaac Hayden also trained.
