Newcastle Forced Take Action Following Incident Between Player and Fan

Newcastle United have reportedly been forced to take action after an incident involving a player and a fan.

Despite losing Alexander Isak to Liverpool during the summer transfer window, the Magpies have enjoyed a decent start.

Isak's replacement, Nick Woltemade, has been in fine form as he has managed six goals in 11 matches across all competitions so far.

Currently, Newcastle sit 12th in the Premier League table with 12 points and are eighth in the UEFA Champions League standings with six points.

Although things have been going well on the pitch, Newcastle have been forced to make a big change off it.

In a recent report by the Daily Mail, it has been suggested that Newcastle players and coaches have been told not to stop their cars 'upon entering or leaving the training ground'.

In addition, fans have been told not to congregate at the entrance of the club's Benton base.

The report stated that the decision came after 'a near-miss involving a Newcastle player and a young fan' that occurred this week.

It has been suggested that the 'senior' Newcastle star was left 'alarmed' after nearly hitting an autograph-hunter while driving his car.

The report stated: "Those wanting selfies and shirts signed often jump into the road, causing players to stop. Fans have also started waiting at nearby traffic lights and approaching the driver’s window while they're on red."

It was also reported that Newcastle have been wanting to take action for a long period of time, but are also conscious of 'the positive interactions that arise from fans, especially during the school holidays, enjoying a brief moment with the players'.

SPORTbible has contacted Newcastle United for comment.

This weekend, the Magpies will return to Premier League action when they take on West Ham United on Sunday afternoon at the London Stadium.

On Wednesday night, Eddie Howe's men continued the defence of their Carabao Cup crown with a convincing 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at St. James' Park.

As a result, they will take on Fulham in the last eight.
