The official Newcastle United site reporting on the first Nick Woltemade start and goal:

‘The Germany international, who joined Serie A side Juventus on loan for the duration of the 2026/27 campaign, netted his first goal for the club in Thursday’s 5-0 win against NEC Nijmegen in the Europa League. The three-time UEFA Cup winners raced into a three-goal lead before half-time, with Woltemade netting Juventus’ third goal of the night from the penalty spot before being substituted in the 83rd minute.

Sean Neave made his first ever start for Wolves on Wednesday and played the full game, an impressive performance from the Geordie teenage despite losing 1-0 to Everton.

The club now reporting: ‘Teenage forward Neave, who joined Wolverhampton Wanderers on a season-long loan, was handed his first professional start in Wolves’ 1-0 away defeat against Everton following Wednesday’s Carabao Cup third round tie. The 19-year-old, who made his Premier League debut on the final day of the 2025/26 season away at Fulham, played the full game at the Hill Dickinson Stadium but Charly Alcaraz’s late strike proved the difference, with the Toffees setting up a fourth round meeting with Newcastle. The England Under-19 international could be in action this weekend when Wolves host West Midlands rivals West Bromwich Albion in the Sky Bet Championship at Molineux on Sunday (kick-off 12pm BST).’
