11 Things Newcastle Fans Want To See From Magpies During Gateshead Friendly

6. Rolando Aarons Playing... And Not Getting Injured...

The theme of injuries ruining a player's season continues here, with Rolando Aarons' breakthrough campaign decimated by repetitive muscular tears and strains. It is easy to forget that the 19-year-old has only made six first-team appearances for the Magpies, but such was his impact in each of those games that he has already become one of Newcastle's chief attacking outlets. For Newcastle supporters, it will be brilliant to see Aarons on the pitch and they will hope he gets through the Gateshead game without picking up a knock - instead wowing the spectators with his pace, trickery and final ball. He really is the sort of player who gets fans out of the seats.
