Newcastle Lunchtime Round-Up, Friday 6th November 2026: Dedic Bow and Arrow Saga Clears Up as Magpies Prepare for Fulham

The big talking point this lunchtime is Amar Dedic, after the defender was stopped by Northumbria Police after being spotted carrying a bow and arrows at a Northumberland beauty spot (BBC Sport) (Shields Gazette). The Guardian reports he's unlikely to face any club sanction over the incident and is still expected to start at Craven Cottage on Saturday (The Guardian), with Northumbria Police having issued their own statement on the matter (Shields Gazette).

Team news is taking shape ahead of the Fulham trip. Newcastle World reports a double fitness boost with a midfield duo back available, though at least four players are still set to miss out (Newcastle World). On the international front, Thomas Tuchel has named his England squad for the final two Nations League group games, with a Dan Burn decision confirmed and the fate of a team-mate also revealed (Chronicle Live), while Shields Gazette notes only one Newcastle player has made the latest England call-up (Shields Gazette).

There's been plenty of reaction to recent form too. Alan Shearer has been outspoken about Matthias Jaissle and Newcastle's recruitment following the defeat to Everton (Shields Gazette), while Chronicle Live suggests Jaissle needs to show progress at Fulham, the ground where Eddie Howe took charge for the last time (Chronicle Live). A Newcastle favourite has also given their verdict on Jaissle's start and spoken of their ambitions for the club (Shields Gazette).

Away from the pitch, Dan Burn has spoken candidly about crying in a car park before a game as he battled suicidal thoughts (Chronicle Live). The club have also confirmed which Newcastle fans won't be able to buy Sunderland tickets for next month's derby at St James' Park (The Mag), while Michael Owen has made an admission about a late-career offer from Sunderland (Newcastle World). Finally, young goalkeeper Tyler Jones has returned from a loan spell at Dunston UTS with glowing reviews (Chronicle Live).
