Elliot Anderson: "Mum we are going to the World Cup." 🏴❤️
After being called up to the England squad, Anderson sent a touching tribute to his late mother, who sadly passed away last month.
🚨Another example of just what a class act - and a genuinely good human - Eddie Howe is, telling me he got in touch with Elliot Anderson after the tragic passing of his Mum:
🗣️ “Yeah I reached out to Elliot. Very sad news for him and his family. Having been there myself I totally know those emotions and feelings.
🗣️ “My thoughts immediately went to him and his family to make sure they were ok. We have a really good relationship.
🗣️ “I respect him as a person and a footballer. I’ve been so pleased to see him doing so well. That was never in doubt.”
Yasir Al-Rumayyan spoke to #NUFC squad in the dressing room after the game.
Eddie Howe: "He spoke with the players after the game and spoke really well about his plans for the future and how committed he and everyone is to the football club, long-term growth and exciting times ahead. So that was great to see."
FIFA is considering a proposal which would mandate all clubs to have at least one homegrown player from the under-20 or under-21 category on the pitch at all times.
A consultation process with all relevant stakeholders for the proposed obligation has been unanimously approved by the council, world football’s governing body said in a statement, and is set to be submitted to the FIFA Council in the next year.

🚨 🇮🇹 Sandro Tonali tells @SkySportsNews his newly born son & his #NUFC teammates helped him recover from Italy’s World Cup failure:
🗣️ “It was one of my worst moments in football. We were so sad, especially because it’s the third time in a row. It was so difficult.
🗣️ “I didn’t leave my house for 4 or 5 days, it was a tough moment in my life. I was different with my family and my friends.
🗣️ “When I came back to Newcastle I found my team and they were so good with me. I felt so sad every day and they helped and understood.
🗣️ “This is football. Sometimes you are the best people in the world, sometimes you’re the worst. Now we have to live the next four years, but we have to change things quickly and show a reaction to our fans quickly.
🗣️ “We missed the World Cup three times in a row, but I felt more sad than I did four years ago because I know my responsibility in the team.
🗣️ “For every kid in Italy from 16/17 years and under, they have never seen us at a World Cup. It’s the worst feeling for us as players. But we have to react, stick together, work hard and try again in four years.
🗣️ “Leonardo (baby son) was my light after Bosnia. I never left him for two days. He doesn’t speak but when I look at him I feel different. He’s so special and he changes my day in a second.”

🚨 🇮🇹 Sandro Tonali addresses the continued reports linking him with a summer move away from Newcastle:
🗣️ “I don’t look at social media, I don’t like it. After my ban I changed everything with social media, I just go to training and then go home and be with my family. My life is much better now.
🗣️ “In football if you play well you have to deal with the transfer rumours, but if you concentrate 100% on your game, and you’re happy, you don’t have to think about anything or speak about anything.”
