Player spotted leaving Newcastle airport – Toon theories emerge following Dubai flight

It looks like Kieran Trippier is on his way to Dubai after a Toon fan spotted the right-back preparing to depart Newcastle airport today.

Newcastle supporter @Doddsy228904442 posted a photo of the 33-year-old leaving duty free before catching a flight to the Middle East.

Speaking for Saturday’s matchday programme, Trippier said he was taking ‘extra precautions’ on his delayed comeback from a calf injury that’s kept him out for two months, but added that he hopes to be ‘back soon.’

Newcastle take on his former club Burnley on Saturday, but it seems highly unlikely the defender returns at Tur Moor if he’s flying out o Dubai.

As ever, plenty of theories have emerged on social media. Some wonder if he’s been given extra time off to ensure he’s fit for this summer’s Euros – which could be his last major international tournament – while reported interest from the Saudi Pro League has others questioning if his trip is transfer related after links to a January exit.
