NEWCASTLE: Newcastle United January signing Kieran Trippier is ready to step up his return from injury, with hopes high that the defender will feature significantly in the rest of the Magpies’ season.
The likely elongated and overly manufactured draw for the 2022 FIFA World Cup will take place on Friday afternoon, 5 pm UK time, from the Qatari capital Doha.
