The 20-year-old midfielder sustained the injury to his lower right leg during training on Tuesday.

He will travel to a specialist consultant on Wednesday before continuing his rehabilitation with the club’s medical team, and is expected to return for the start of pre-season.

Miley has played four times since returning from a leg injury that sidelined him for 15 games.

Blue & white delight!
 

Tuesday evening saw Northern League side Whitley Bay lift the Northumberland Senior Cup, dramatically beating Heaton Stannington on penalties at St.James' Park.

3,289 fans were present as Stan attempted to retain the trophy they won in 2025, the Northern Premier League side going ahead when Alex Payne shot home on 49 minutes.

That lead lasted just six minutes though, before former Magpie junior Nathan Nkunku netted from close range to make it 1-1.

With no further scoring the final went straight to penalties, Bay ultimately prevailing 6-5, goalkeeper Mauro Asikaogu saving two spot kicks at the Gallowgate End.

Newcastle U18s  3  Leeds United U18s  2

Newcastle's U18 side ended their home league programme on Tuesday with a fifth successive victory at Little Benton, three points confirming a third place finish in the table.

Coach Chris Moore made seven changes to the starting line-up that had ended Manchester United's title aspirations last Saturday and saw his side take a 24th minute lead when Alex O'Donovan headed in a Matheos Ferreira centre. 

However the blue-clad visitors soon levelled; Nguekap Njinko pulling the ball back from the right byline for Sam Alker to beat debutant goalkeeper Olly Holland after 27 minutes.

Newcastle regained the lead just 20 seconds into the second half when Jack Callaghan raced forward and confidently fired in for his maiden goal at this level.

Kavey Wooster was then twice denied by Oliver Wood in the Leeds goal but claimed a 69th minute assist when teeing up O'Donovan to hit a rising effort from just inside the box.

O'Donovan then made a solo run into the area seeking to round off his hat-trick, but after tussling with a defender was unable to get any power behind his strike.

Leeds reduced the arrears at the start of added time when substitute Oliver Pickles finished from close range, but the Magpies retained the lead - having left slip a two goal advantage when the sides drew 3-3 back in August.

Newcastle will round off the season at Boro on Saturday, already assured of their best U18 league placing and points per game return since the 2011/12 campaign. 

Team: Holland, Johnson, Gilligan, Epia, Yeutembip (Old 46), Taylor (Koussou 77), Callaghan, Ghanem, Wooster (Hutchison 71), O'Donovan, Ferreira (Seldon 71).
Sub n/u: Flack

A 3-1 home victory over QPR on Saturday was enough to confirm Ipswich Town as runners-up to Coventry City on the final day of the Championship season.

Kieran McKenna's side return to the top flight at the first attempt, while Millwall, Southampton, Boro and Hull City progress to the playoffs:

Update:
Loan lads
 
Charlie McArthur (Airdrieonians):
The central defender kept his place in the side for Tuesday's Scottish Championship relegation playoff first leg tie, which ended in a 0-1 loss at Alloa Athletic.

The second leg is this coming Saturday.

Antonio Cordero (Cadiz)
Delight for United's young Spaniard on Saturday, as his brace turned a 0-1 deficit into a 2-1 advantage for Cadiz away to basement side Cultural Leonesa.

However his side contrived to concede an equaliser during second half added time, denying them three precious points in their bid to avoid relegation from La Liga 2.

Our man in the Bodega reports:

"A man of the match display from Cordero: both his goals coming with right foot shots after cutting in from the left."

Max Thompson (Ayr United):
No farewell appearance for the goalkeeper, who remained on the bench for Friday's season-closing Scottish Championship game, a 0-1 home loss to title winners St.Johnstone.
 
Matt Targett (Middlesbrough):
Already assured of a Championship playoff place, Boro's 2-2 draw at Wrexham on Saturday was rendered meaningless by victory for Ipswich Town that saw them retain the second automatic promotion place.

Matt played the full game and added one assist.

Harrison Ashby/Joe White (Bradford City):
Having previously bagged a League One playoff place, the Bantams won 2-1 at Exeter City on Saturday - a result confirming relegation for the Grecians. Joe wasn't involved and Harrison stayed on the bench.

Bradford now face Bolton Wanderers in the playoffs.

Travis Hernes (Groningen):
The midfielder remained on the bench for Saturday's 2-3 home defeat to Excelsior in the Eredivisie.

Trevan Sanusi (Lorient):
A worthy 2-2 draw away to PSG in Ligue 1 on Saturday was achieved without the on-loan Magpie.

Odysseas Vlachodimos (Seville):
A potentially priceless clean sheet for Vlach helped Seville record a 1-0 win at home to Real Sociedad on Monday.

That left Seville fourth bottom of La Liga - a solitary point away from the drop zone with four games remaining.

Update:
Howay the lad

Following his previous success with "The Boy on the Shed", former Magpie Paul Ferris has been nominated once again for the annual Sports Book Awards.

His memoir "Once Upon A Toon" has made the shortlist for the Sports Entertainment Book of the Year, the winner of which will be decided by a public vote.

Paul is up against some big hitters in the shape of Phil Tufnell and Martin O'Neill so every vote is vital.

Votes can be placed until this Thursday May 7th here

1922 At St. James' Park, the Reserves beat West Stanley 3-0 in their final North Eastern League game of the season.

Asquith received £250 from the proceeds of the game but within days had his transfer request granted and left the club.

Joining Manchester United, he played just once before the outbreak of war saw league football suspended. By 1945 he had returned to Barnsley.

An already-relegated United faced The Lions at a sunny SJP, with the sparse crowd treated to a pair of cracking goals. 

Teddy Sheringham volleyed past Tommy Wright to put Millwall ahead, before a raker from John Anderson levelled.

Many United fans missed Ando's effort as it coincided with Mirandinha appearing in the Milburn stand, amid loud cheers.

The Brazilian was in plaster with an Achilles injury and was missing his third successive game - although his relationship with manager Jim Smith had deteriorated considerably as relegation became a reality.

A non-challenge from Hugo Viana allowed l'OM to counter attack, Matthieu Flamini supplying Drogba to shoot past Shay Given after shrugging off Aaron Hughes. 

United attempted to get back into the tie, with Lee Bowyer carelessly shooting wide and penalty claims waved away when Shola Ameobi was impeded.

Slack marking from a free kick near the end settled it though, Given then denying Drogba his treble.

2013 A 1-1 draw for Stoke City at the mackems saw Newcastle drop one place into 17th, just three points clear of a Wigan side with a game in hand.

Reading and QPR were already condemned to relegation but seven clubs including United were still in danger of the drop.  

2021 Almost four years to the day since promotion celebrations were followed by HMRC searches on club offices, Newcastle confirmed the matter was concluded:

"HMRC has today given formal confirmation that it is discontinuing the four-year long criminal investigation into the tax treatment of agents/players payments involving Newcastle United Football Club.”

Mike Ashley issued this statement:

"After four years of the club being subjected to this investigation, I am pleased that the criminal investigation has now been discontinued.

"It is now time for the dark forces that are preventing this football club from becoming the powerhouse that the fans deserve, to step aside.”

2023 Newcastle U18s ended their league season by coming from behind to win 2-1 at Nottingham Forest - their first victory in six outings.

Ciaran Thompson and Darren Palmer were on target for Graeme Carrick's side.
