Why Ryan Fraser and nine others are unavailable for Newcastle United to face Burnley

Eddie Howe has made two changes to his Newcastle United side to face Burnley in the final match of the 2021-22 Premier League season.

Captain Jamaal Lascelles and Kieran Trippier came back into the side for Fabian Schar and Emil Krafth.

It’s Trippier’s first start since he went of injured with a broken metatarsal against Aston Villa in February.

The England right-back comes up against his former club, who are fighting to avoid relegation to the Championship this afternoon.

Schar drops to the bench after being brought off in Monday night’s 2-0 win over Arsenal with a head injury.

Ryan Fraser also drops out of the squad entirely after picking up an injury after coming off the bench against the Gunners.

NUFC XI to face Burnley: Dubravka; Trippier, Lascelles, Burn, Targett; Guimaraes, Longstaff, Joelinton; Almiron, Saint-Maximin, Wilson NUFC subs: Darlow, Dummett, Schar, Ritchie, Krafth, Fernandez, Wood, Murphy, Gayle
