Newcastle are investigating Jamaal Lascelles’ involvement in a city-centre brawl, after police made an appeal for information.
Mail Sport understands the club appreciate the defender was acting in self-defence during the incident in Newcastle on August 20, but the hierarchy will review the situation. Sources close to the player hope they take a fair view of the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Mail Sport revealed on Tuesday that Lascelles was on a night out with his younger brother and a friend following Newcastle’s 1-0 defeat at Manchester City on Saturday, August 19 when trouble flared with a group of six-to-eight unknown men at 4am the following day.
