Shocking; Newcastle United star is sidelined after a drug test was confirmed positive.
According to Keith Downie at Sky Sports, Yasir Al-Rymayyan will be at St James’ Park today alongside two other members of the Saudi Public Investment Fund; the 85% owners of Newcastle United.
He reveals that Al-Rumayyan will be joined by Asma Rezeeq and Jacobo Solis ahead of the 1.30pm kick-off against Tottenham, where Eddi Howe’s Mags will be looking to put transfer frustrations behind them in a battle of two unbeaten sides.
Downie reports that our Chairman has been ‘keen to express his support to everyone at the club in person’ and will be in the stands, with this following a tough few months for the club that has featured PSR chaos in June, Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi’s departure and no signings that immediately improve the first team after we failed to sign a centre-back or right-winger.
Perhaps it is a show of support, but also a chance to find out exactly what went on – and what went wrong. Hopefully positive meetings can take place and, most importantly, they witness a win that would help settle a slightly disgruntled fanbase.
