10 Questions NUFC Fans Must Ask John Carver During Meeting

7. Will Siem De Jong Get A Start Against Leicester City?

Siem de Jong appeared for just 17 minutes off the bench for Newcastle against Swansea City - but in that time he scored a goal and offered much more of an attacking threat than anyone else in the squad. The Dutch attacking-midfielder then completed a full 90 minutes for the Under-21s against Derby County on Tuesday night, having already played 72 minutes for them against Aston Villa the week before. Time is running out in Newcastle's season and De Jong needs to be on the pitch - so Carver must be asked if he intends to start the 26-year-old or not.
