The Toon boss says Ameobi still has a part to play in Newcastle United's relegation battle, but he also adds the striker is not doing himself any favours with his attitude.

Keegan has warned his 26-year-old striker that he must roll up his sleeves and put the effort in.

Keegan: "Shola's been injured, but he's back in training now.

"I wanted to play him in a reserve game last week, but he got a knock. That's why he wasn't involved.

"He's on the fringe of things at the moment, but it doesn't mean he hasn't got a part to play.

"It's up to him. I've had lots of chats with Shola since I've been here, and he's really got to force himself into the team a little bit more than he has in the past."
