Official 2024/25 Newcastle United Premier League squad made public – How many keepers? | OneFootball

The official 2024/25 Newcastle United Premier League squad has been revealed.

The Premier League making the announcement.

The senior 25 man 2024/25 Newcastle United Premier League squad doesn’t include those counted as Under 21s still, they are additional to the 25.

Each squad contains no more than 17 players who do not fulfil the “Home Grown Player” (HGP) criteria. The rest of the squad, up to a total of 25 players, must be “Home Grown”.

Here is an explanation from the official Premier League site on who exactly qualifies as a ‘Home Grown’ player, also, who qualifies as an Under 21.

A “Home Grown Player” means a player who, irrespective of nationality or age, has been registered with any club affiliated to The Football Association or the Football Association of Wales for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons, or 36 months, before his 21st birthday (or the end of the season during which he turns 21).

A club’s Under-21 players are not included on the 25-man squad lists and are eligible to play in the Premier League.

For the 2024/25 Premier League season, Under-21 players will have been born on or after 1 January 2003.’

Premier League official announcement – 13 September 2024:

Newcastle United’s 25-man squad for the first half of the season is as follows:

25 Squad players (*Home grown) 1 Almiron Rejala, Miguel Angel 2 Apolinario De Lira, Joelinton Cassio 3 Barnes, Harvey Lewis* 4 Botman, Sven Adriaan 5 Burn, Daniel Johnson* 6 Dubravka, Martin 7 Gillespie, Mark Joseph* 8 Gordon, Anthony Michael* 9 Guimaraes Rodriguez Moura, Bruno 10 Isak, Alexander 11 Kelly, Lloyd Casius* 12 Krafth, Emil Henry Kristoffer 13 Lascelles, Jamaal* 14 Livramento, Valentino* 15 Longstaff, Sean David* 16 Murphy, Jacob Kai* 17 Pope, Nicholas David* 18 Ruddy, John Thomas Gordon* 19 Schar, Fabian Lukas 20 Targett, Matthew Robert* 21 Tonali, Sandro 22 Trippier, Kieran John* 23 Vlachodimos, Odysseas 24 Willock, Joseph George* 25 Wilson, Callum Eddie Graham*

A few observations…

The current long-term injured Botman and Lascelles are both included, so hopefully the pair of them back playing before the end of 2024.

How many goalkeepers? Just the five, with reports of Odysseas Vlachodimos heading out on loan seemingly not becoming reality.

Isaac Hayden not included, as expected, though as yet he doesn’t appear to have found another club.

Amongst the under 21s who are extra to this 25 man senior squad, there are the likes of Lewis Hall, Lewis and Jamie Miley, Alfie Harrison and Trevan Sanusi, Will Osula, Alex Murphy and summer signing Miodrag Pivas.
