Newcastle Lunchtime Round-Up, Monday 9th November 2026: Dan Burn Called Up by England After Guehi Injury, While Fulham Draw Still Dominates Debate
Dan Burn is the big talking point today after being added to the England squad for the Nations League games against Croatia and Spain, stepping in for the injured Marc Guehi, who withdrew with a hip problem (BBC Sport) (Shields Gazette) (Chronicle Live). Burn was even spotted at Tottenham Hotspur's training ground as he joined up with the Three Lions following the late call (Shields Gazette).
The weekend's 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage is still generating plenty of chat. Troy Deeney gave his verdict on the Fulham clash after naming his best performers from the weekend's Premier League action, and reportedly used the word "Unbelievable" when discussing Newcastle (The Mag). Alan Shearer also had his say on what he witnessed from Newcastle at Fulham, admitting he had to "choose my words" carefully (Chronicle Live). Burn was at the centre of the big flashpoint too, with his opening goal controversially chalked off, and an 'expert' has since been asked for their verdict on the decision (Newcastle World). Elsewhere, Amar Dedic made light of a police incident that happened ahead of the Fulham trip, with manager Matthias Jaissle also responding to it (Newcastle World). One fan's matchday account from the away end at Craven Cottage was also among Monday's reading (The Mag).
On the transfer front, Nick Woltemade continues to be a big topic after scoring his first Serie A goal for Juventus, with reports suggesting Jaissle has been in fresh contact with him, though his long-term future remains unclear (Chronicle Live) (Shields Gazette). Italian media reaction to Woltemade has been mixed despite the goal (Shields Gazette).
Away from matchday matters, there's also discussion around matchday atmosphere, with a piece comparing the mood at St James' Park and Selhurst Park and what more could be done to improve it (The Mag).
