Ryan Fraser will be asked to explain why he pulled out of Scotland's crucial World Cup qualifiers this week - only to then train with Newcastle.

Sportsmail has learned that the 27-year-old cited a calf problem when he withdrew from Steve Clarke’s squad on Sunday.

However, Fraser trained with the Magpies on Tuesday as his former Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe took his first session on Tyneside.
