Newcastle United defender Kieran Trippier is looking to leave the Premier League club this summer.
Trippier was an unused substitute during Newcastle’s opening-day win against Southampton last weekend.
Tino Livramento occupied the starting right-back role, while defensive duo Lloyd Kelly and Emil Krafth were both used from the bench ahead of the 33-year-old England international.
Midfielder Bruno Guimaraes was handed the armband in the absence of Trippier.
The former Tottenham Hotspur and Atletico Madrid defender has two years left on his contract and is one of the highest earners at the club.

Trippier is eager to leave this summer to explore new opportunities in his career, according to Sky Sports.
A bid in the region of £13 million from Bayern Munich was turned down for him in January.
Everton are reportedly interested in Trippier, with Toffees boss Sean Dyche having worked with the England international at Burnley between 2012 and 2015.
When asked of the rumoured interest in Trippier, Dyche said: “He is one of many names that’s come up here.
“As if by magic, his name comes up when we don’t have a right-back available.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United are edging closer to completing a deal for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.
Optimism within the club is growing regarding an agreement being struck between the two Premier League clubs, which would see Guehi become Newcastle’s record transfer, ahead of this weekend.
Palace value the player at £65 million and Newcastle previously saw a bid of £60 million plus £5 million in add-ons rejected, as talks regarding the structure of the deal continued.
Palace have privately accepted that it would be beneficial to sell the 24-year-old England international, after also agreeing to sell his defensive counterpart Joachim Andersen to Fulham for £30 million.
A transfer fee of £65 million plus add-ons will likely see the deal completed.
