We haven't been involved in Europe, we were knocked out of the cups before they even got into gear, and while the Newcastle players are "enjoying" a long weekend due to their FA Cup exit at Arsenal, KK says some face "burn out".

James Milner has been handed an additional couple of days to recuperate as Newcastle United prepare for next week's mammoth clash with Manchester United.

Milner: "You obviously want to play every game, but it's been a hectic few seasons.

"There hasn't been that much rest, and it is eventually going to catch up with you.

"You're not going to be as sharp as you can be.

"The manager's obviously going to do what's best for the team, and I'll respect that every time.

"I want to play every game, but there have been so many games played over the last few years."
