Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce is happy to welcome some of the club's loanees back into the fold.

Nabil Bentaleb, Valentino Lazaro and Danny Rose were all involved in the 3-1 defeat to Liverpool on the final day of the season.

Bruce will speak with managing director Lee Charnley about the trio, along with other transfer matters.

And he hopes to bring them back, even if some are on new loan deals.

Bruce told reporters: "I've let them go on their way, because communication, now, is so easy.

"We'll have to have conversations with their respective clubs and look to see if we can make any of them permanent, or, the alternative is can we have them again for another year on loan.

"Let's see what the situation is, and how that develops."
