After opting to stay at Newcastle this summer, Jack Colback was left out of the Magpies’ Premier League squad by Steve Bruce and hasn’t played a single minute of football this season as a result.
The decision to leave Colback out seems unfair considering Florian Lejeune & Dwight Gayle have been injured all season and only recently returned to training. Ciaran Clark hasn’t played a minute of league football either and is fourth-choice at centre-back.
Bruce even named three right-backs in his squad (Javier Manquillo, Emil Krafth, DeAndre Yedlin) rather than include Colback, so it’s hard to see the 29-year-old staying at St James’ Park unless there’s a change in manager.
