Written by Dan King
Rob Elliot and Daryl Murphy have been named in Martin O'Neill's Republic of Ireland squad for three matches next month.
Elliot - who started United's final three matches of last season and kept two clean sheets as the Magpies won the Sky Bet Championship title - is one of four goalkeepers in the party.
Murphy, who netted six times last season, is also part of a 37-man group for games against Mexico, Uruguay and Austria.
However Ciaran Clark, who missed Newcastle's win over Barnsley on the final day of the campaign, is unavailable due to a knee injury.
O'Neill will hold a three-day training camp in Cork next week before the full squad links up in Dublin on Sunday, 28th May.
