The 33-year-old Argentine has not started a match for Newcastle since Eddie Howe took charge as head coach last November. Fernandez has also been nursing various injury issues over the past 12 months though Howe has described him as the ‘ultimate professional’.

Newcastle also need to trim their squad ahead of confirming their 25 man list for the 2022-23 Premier League season. The loan exits free up space for a potential deadline day incoming before the 11pm deadline.

While Howe is happy with the business done so far, he hasn’t ruled out a potential loan addition.
