The club are currently on a warm-weather training camp in Jeddah as they do not have a Premier League match this weekend.
Eddie Howe’s team will take part in a training match against Al-Ittihad on Friday behind closed doors, before heading back to the UK the following day.
The session began with stretching and fitness exercises for a period of 20 minutes, after which the players did some running around the training pitch, before moving onto ball practice.
After concluding their own training, the Newcastle players put some of Mahd Academy’s talented youngsters through their paces with technical exercises such as one-touch possession play and long-distance shooting.
The players ended the afternoon by signing shirts and posing for photos with the youngsters.
