Young striker with 10 goal contributions spotted in Newcastle United training ahead of Carabao Cup final.
Eddie Howe integrates youth players into first-team training as Newcastle gear up for their biggest game of the season.
Newcastle head to Wembley this weekend, aiming to claim their first domestic trophy in 70 years, with Liverpool standing in their way.
The mood in the camp appears upbeat, as seen in the club’s latest training gallery, which features a smiling Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson.
Trippier impressed against West Ham on Monday and is expected to retain his place, while Wilson will likely start on the bench.
Ben Parkinson Training with the First Team
There were no unexpected absentees from training beyond those already known, but a few interesting inclusions stood out.
While Sean Neave made the bench against West Ham, another young striker, Ben Parkinson, caught the eye.
With nine goals and an assist in 14 appearances this season, Parkinson continues to train with the senior squad as Eddie Howe assesses his young prospects.
Eddie Howe Monitoring His Young Talent
Leo Shahar was also involved in first-team training, though he has yet to feature in a matchday squad.
Newcastle seem to be on the brink of promoting several academy players, reflecting the club’s strategy of investing in young talent.
With a potential European campaign next season, squad rotation will be crucial to avoid the issues that plagued them last year.
