Newcastle resume training this week with Toon chief Steve Bruce still in the dark about his long-term future at St James' Park.
Six weeks after owner Mike Ashley agreed a £300m takeover deal with Amanda Staveley's Saudi-backed consortium, Bruce has yet to have contact with either party.
The Magpies report back to their Benton training headquarters on Tuesday afternoon with Bruce expecting a full complement of players.
That includes Danny Rose who has publicly expressed his reservations about the Premier League starting up again next month with Covid 19 still claiming hundreds of lives on a daily basis.
