Newcastle head coach Matthias Jaissle is set to make a definitive decision regarding the future of 34-year-old defender Dan Burn. The Englishman's current deal with the club runs until next summer, leaving him set to become a free agent if an extension is not agreed upon.
Reports indicate that Jaissle's tactical vision will be the decisive factor. The German manager is expected to evaluate how well Burn's attributes align with his specific style of play and long-term plans for the squad.
Currently, the defender is sidelined with an ankle injury sustained in training a few weeks ago. Burn is anticipated to return to action immediately following the conclusion of the international break.
