Vuckic returns after serious double injury.

Haris made his return as a late substitute in an under 18s game where the bairns were defeated 4-1 by the youngsters of Nottingham Forest at a windswept Benton training ground. Haris will also be eligible for next week’s semi final of the FA Youth Cup with Aston Villa next week.
While he has only made two appearences for the first team so far, his talent is prodigious. A playmaking midfield player and second striker in the mould of one of the greatest of all United players, Peter Beardsley, Vučkić is not a player with great pace, however his balance and ease on the ball, along with his vision, passing and shooting have made many at the club see him as the brightest of the Academy talents, and a very important part of Newcastle United’s future.
Along with the return of another long term casualty, Joey Barton, this should add another dimension to the Magpie midfield as they look towards promotion back to the Premiership finally being made a reality in the next few games.
Would love to see us give Vuckic and a couple others a bit of a run out once promotion is clinched. I’d still like to see us try and win the league but would also like to see what we have with some of these players.
