Good News For Toon Fans - Coloccini Didn't Play!

Last updated : 16 August 2012 By Footy Mad - Editor

The Argentinian was an unused substitute as his country beat Germany 3-1 in Frankfurt last night.

Coloccini has caused concern in the Toon camp every since he limped off against Cardiff City during the dire 4-1 defeat last weekend.

Coloccini: “I hope this week can be one we can enjoy.

“I had some tiredness in my legs at Cardiff, but everything is OK.

“I always try my best for the teams I play for.

“To be called up for my country again means Newcastle are doing well and I have done well for United.

“It means so much for me. It was nice news when I first heard about it.

“However, we have a big season ahead now.”
