Manchester United's Jadon Sancho could make his first Old Trafford start this weekend despite withdrawing from the England squad through injury.
Having appeared against Leeds and Southampton from the bench, the winger made his first United start since his £73million switch from Borussia Dortmund in the 1-0 win at Wolves before the international break.
Sancho's hopes of playing against Newcastle on Saturday appeared in doubt after withdrawing from the England squad last weekend after picking up a minor knock in training.
But United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says the 21-year-old is available for selection against the Magpies after overcoming an ankle complaint.
Brazil have requested to FIFA that their Premier League-based players do not participate as the row over their refusal to release them for international duty continues.
"I think it's a lose, lose, lose situation for everyone – national teams, players, clubs," Solskjaer said. "It's been a farce...
"For me, I'm disappointed with the whole thing. Common sense might not be so common anymore and we need to prepare a game without Fred."
