Newcastle United currently have seven players out on loan at clubs in England’s lower divisions and in France, including Adam Armstrong and Remy Cabella.

Four of them were in action over the weekend, with two of them failing to make appearances and another expected to start for his side on Monday night.

Here’s how the United loanees got on:

Adam Armstrong (Coventry City)

The Sky Blues’ impressive shutout record eventually ended at 535 minutes as they drew 2-2 at Swindon Town, with Armstrong failing to get his name on to the scoresheet.

Armstrong, 18, lasted 78 minutes before being substituted for Marcus Tudgay, who thought he had won the game for Coventry with an 81st minute goal, only for Nicky Ajose to equalise from the penalty spot in injury-time.

Coventry remain fourth in League One, four points off an automatic promotion position with a game in hand - while Armstrong is now second behind Scunthorpe United’s Paddy Madden in the division’s goalscoring charts with eight.

Remy Cabella (Marseille)

The 25-year-old France international started in Marseille’s 2-1 victory at Lille and is now just an appearance away from his loan deal to the Ligue 1 side automatically turning into a permanent move.

Cabella played his 11th game for the club and saw them move on to 12 points from 11 games and into 14th place in Ligue 1 as Michy Batshauyi - a player who United continue to monitor - and Romain Alessandrini netted for Marseille.

Though he was booked, Cabella enjoyed one of his best performances in a Marseille shirt as he helped the visitors to shade the shots stats 12 to 10 despite having enjoyed less possession (47.7 per cent).

Alex Gilliead and Macaulay Gillesphey (Carlisle United)

Fresh from scoring his first ever senior goal the weekend before, 19-year-old Gilliead lasted 70 minutes before being substituted for Carlisle during their 1-1 draw at Wycombe Wanderers.

Unfortunately for the forward, he was unable to get on the scoresheet this time out as Carlisle enjoyed 53 per cent possession but conjured up just two shots.

Gilliead’s United Under-21 teammate Gillesphey was an unused substitute as the Cumbrians remained ninth in League Two with the draw.

Sammy Ameobi (Cardiff City)

The 23-year-old forward will hope to continue to deputise up front for the injured Kenwyne Jones during Cardiff’s Monday night Championship fixture at home to Bristol City.

A win against fourth-bottom Bristol would move Cardiff to just one point outside the play-off positions.

His brother, former United striker Shol a, did find the back of the net for Bolton Wanderers as he came off the bench during a 1-1 draw with Leeds United to mark his debut for the club with a goal, however.

Shane Ferguson (Millwall)

The Northern Ireland international came on as a 73rd-minute substitute for Lee Gregory as Millwall moved up to 10th in League One following an impressive 2-1 victory at Sheffield United.

Aiden O’Brien netted twice, either side of Jose Baxter’s equaliser, to give the Lions all three points at Bramall Lane.

Haris Vuckic (Wigan Athletic)

The 23-year-old Slovenia forward sat out Wigan’s 1-1 draw at Bradford City despite manager and former Newcastle defender Gary Caldwell having confirmed during the week that Vuckic was back fit and in contention for a place.

However, Vuckic was not even given a place on the bench as Wigan moved up to fifth in League One.
