Albert Luque was again impressive for Newcastle United in yesterday's 2-0 friendly victory over Juventus.

He scored twice in the 4-1 win over Celtic and coolly slotted his first-half penalty past Gianluigi Buffon to set the ball rolling against the Turin side.

Although he came off after just half an hour with what seemed to be a minor knock he did enough to impress his boss.

"The only negative thing today was Albert coming off. But he assures me it's just a tightening (of the muscle)."

Asked if Luque could become a fixture this season, he said: "Hopefully, If he can stay fit he could play a part."
