This is the June 2025 international schedule for Newcastle United players:

Thursday 5 June

Ecuador 0 Brazil 0

Bruno Guimaraes was one of Brazil’s better players in this dour World Cup group qualifier, Ancelotti’s first game in charge. In the Goal ratings only Marquinhos (8/10) getting a higher rating than Bruno Guimaraes (7/10). A match of minimal chances at either end and when Vinicius Junior set up the best opportunity of the game for Casemiro, it was a feeble effort from the Man U player. A win would have seen Brazil pretty much sure of qualifying but a point means a little more work to do to make sure.

Friday 6 June

Norway 3 Italy 0

Sandro Tonali and his teammates had a night to forget in this World Cup group qualifier. Three goals down by the break, the home side cruised to this big victory. Only the group winners automatically qualify and Italy already under pressure, as Norway have nine points from the first three of the eight group games they each have to play.

Saturday 7 June

Andorra 0 England 1

A woeful match as England struggled to a 1-0 win in this World Cup group qualifier against woeful opposition, Harty Kane scoring from a few yards out. Dan Burn played the whole game and had minimal defending to do, Andorra with no shots on target and not a single corner, the Newcastle defender with the most passes of any player on the pitch and when giving it to midfielders and attacking players, very rarely they were willing to take any attacking responsibility and just gave the ball back to Burn, sideways and backwards. Anthony Gordon came on in the 81st minute and looked sharp, willing to run at the opposition.

Greece 4 Slovakia 1

A tale of two Newcastle United goalkeepers and neither of them happy after this match. Martin Dubravka playing the full match and conceding four goals despite the Greek players only having three efforts on target, all three of those ending in goals plus an own goal in added time. Whilst Odysseas Vlachodimos watched this friendly from the bench. He had been the established number one for Greece when arriving at Newcastle United last summer but has paid the price for not playing any first team football at club level, no longer number one for his national side.

Monday 9 June

Italy 2 Moldova 0

A much needed victory for Sandro Tonali and his international teammates in this World Cup group qualifier. A goal either side of half-time proving enough in a very open match. The Newcastle midfielder played the full match and was one of Italy’s best performers, Raspadori pipping him for the man of the match accolade.

Tuesday 10 June

England v Senegal (Anthony Gordon, Dan Burn) Friendly

Greece v Bulgaria (Odysseas Vlachodimos) Friendly
