Hayden dropped from Newcastle Prem squad - Ansser Sadiq

Having made over 150 appearances, the 29-year-old has been a part of St. James' Park since 2016.

But when the club submitted their final list on Friday, he was the only senior player not on it.

Hayden's 2026 World Cup hopes are hanging by a thread due to the news.

He is on newly-appointed Jamaica manager Steve McClaren’s radar, but knows he must be playing.

A loan move in January appears nearly certain, but he will have to do without senior football until then.
