10 Things We Learned From Newcastle's Live Periscope Training Session

8. Vurnon Anita Did Train And Looked Relatively Fine

Vurnon Anita was replaced after 66 minutes during Newcastle's opening day fixture with Southampton after falling awkwardly and damaging his back. The midfielder had played reasonably well before being stretchered off and his injury has been a concern for Magpie fans this week. The Dutchman took part in all of the training drills today at the same pace as the rest of the team and looked comfortable throughout. Steve McClaren stated earlier this week that he was hopeful that Anita would not be facing a lengthy lay-off and it seems he may have got wish.
