Newcastle United internationals have returned to the training ground.

With the Premier League season just over three weeks away, we were still awaiting the return of half a dozen players who had been involved in the Copa America or Euros.

Those half dozen are Anthony Gordon, Kieran Trippier, Miguel Almiron, Bruno Guimaraes, Martin Dubravka and Fabian Schar.

Now on Friday, with 22 days to go until that Southampton match at St James’ Park, the club have released images of two of those six back at the training ground.

After Saturday’s friendly at Hull, the first-team squad will very soon after fly off to Japan, with a friendly on Wednesday and then the second one in eight days time a week on Saturday.

Joelinton confirmed in a recent interview that Bruno Guimaraes would be back in time to be on that flight, so that leaves Martin Dubravka whose future at the club is in doubt, plus England pair Anthony Gordon and Kieran Trippier, who were the two who made it the furthest in the two tournaments as unused subs in the final against Spain.

However, even if that Euros final was only 12 days ago, if Kieran Trippier and/or Anthony Gordon are to be playing against Southampton, then they will surely have to be on that plane to Japan, as when the squad return from that trip there will be less that two weeks to go until the new season.

No sign of Bruno Guimaraes at the training ground as yet but earlier today he teased us with this video posted on his personal social media, showing him training but obviously abroad, with his dad giving a helping hand as well as a personal trainer:
