Dubravka could be in goal for Magpies in his final game.

Slovak goalkeeper Martin Dubravka is expect to play his final game for Newcastle United in Tuesday’s Carabao Cup tie.

Newcastle are in a position to offload Dubravka very soon, so Tuesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at the Emirates Stadium at Arsenal could be the 36-year-old’s last game.

Newcastle are already keen to sell Dubravka in the January transfer window and have now received an offer from Saudi Arabian Professional League side Al Shabab, so a move could be on the cards soon.

Journalist Ben Jacobs reports that Saudi Pro League side Al-Shabab are close to completing a deal to sign the former Sparta Prague gloveman.

A verbal agreement is said to be in place between Al-Shabab and Dubravka with the Saudi outfit “confident” the move will be formalise soon.

While Dubravka’s emotional reaction could be a hint that he is waving goodbye to Newcastle after seven years on the books at the Tyneside club.

Magpies boss Eddie Howe has made it clear he เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย doesn’t want to lose Dubravka given his contribution to the team and his stellar form.

At this time, Nick Pope, the team’s first-choice goalkeeper, is still unable to guard the goal, but is in the process of rehabilitating his fitness and is close to returning to the field. Therefore, Dubravka’s departure from the team may have to rely on Greek goalkeeper Odysseus Vlachodimos to guard the goal instead for a short period of time.

This season, Eddie Howe, the Magpies’ head coach, used Pope in 15 Premier League games and two Carabao Cup games before the injury, leaving Dubravka in goal for five Premier League games and two Carabao Cup games.
