Abdoulaye Faye's return to Tyneside can help kick-start Keegan's season.


Keegan: "I am delighted to have Abdoulaye back. I have been very impressed with both him and Habib Beye.

"They both played a part in Senegal's tournament and now have a role to play here.

"As far as Abdoulaye is concerned, he is a very good professional and he has done a very good job here.

"He is a big lad and we certainly need some height in the team at the moment.

"But it is not only his height, he has great experience as well.

"By the time we play Manchester United, I hope to have all four of the players that were involved in Ghana back in contention.

"That will give everybody here a big lift."
