Surrealist. While Newcastle were surprised in the last moments of the meeting against Liverpool recently (1-2), the Magpies saw their captain, Jamaal Lascelles, involved in a huge street fight. The scene would have taken place on August 20, towards Westgate Road, in the heart of Newcastle, a few hours after the defeat against Manchester City (1-0). During the night, the 29-year-old central defender goes out with his little brother and a friend of his. Then, near The Mile Castle pub, Jamaal Lascelles was allegedly attacked in a violent mass fight in which someone threatened to shoot him and his brother.
THE DailyMail also explains that the captain of the Magpies, as soon as he left the Chinawhite discotheque, would have seen his little brother receive a nudge in the throat. A bottle of vodka would have even grazed Jamaal Lascelles. According to the English tabloid, the fight would involve “6 to 8 men” opposed to the 29-year-old player, his brother and his friend, attacked by a gang that was probably too drunk. Nothumbria police reportedly went to the scene to disperse the troops, while paramedics treated the unconscious friend of Jamaal Lascelles. His brother reportedly bled from the face after the fight. Since then, Eddie Howe’s right-hand man has still not played a single minute of play in the Premier League.
