The big man’s back in town

After sitting out the opening four games of the Championship campaign through suspension, the Toon are to welcome back a certain Serbian.

Aleksandar Mitrovic is expected to return for the first time since the 5-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur, spearheading the attack.

Much is expected of the 21-year-old after a mixed first season on Tyneside as he looks to develop into the kind of talismanic figure the Toon Army so want him to be.
