Academy trio set to be handed chance in Newcastle United's Carabao Cup tie vs West Brom
Newcastle United may give academy players Sean Neave, Miodrag Pivas and Leo Shahar opportunities in the Carabao Cup second-round match against West Bromwich Albion. Neave and Pivas were withdrawn at half-time in the Under-21s' 3-1 defeat to Tottenham in a planned change that could precede first-team involvement. Trevan Sanusi is less likely to feature after suffering unusual right-leg pain; coach Robbie Stockdale called the injury a major setback after the winger impressed early in the match.
