Derby Too Soon For Gosling

Dan Gosling is due to play in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Hibernian at Darsley Park today. However, as it is his first football in a Newcastle shirt, the midfielder seems highly unlikely to replace Tioté against Sunderland. Alan Pardew says the former Everton star is "coming along nicely, but we won't rush him back to action".
