Newcastle United have sent Aleksandar Mitrovic to Fulham on loan, and they are set to take on Sunderland in the penultimate game of the season.
Newcastle United fans believe that they have helped to relegate Sunderland by sending Aleksandar Mitrovic out on loan to Fulham.
Mitrovic has left Newcastle to spend the rest of the season at Fulham, and he is expected to have a key role to play for Slavisa Jokanovic’s side.
Fulham play Newcastle’s big rivals, Sunderland, in the penultimate game of the season – and there is a feeling that Chris Coleman’s men could still be fighting for survival then.
Sunderland are currently in 23rd place in the Championship table, and Newcastle fans are predicting that Mitrovic will be the man to send the Black Cats down.
Many Newcastle fans were actually disappointed when Mitrovic moved to Fulham, as he remains popular at St. James’ Park.
Benitez has consistently overlooked the Serbian in favour of playing the likes of Joselu and Dwight Gayle this season, which means he arrives at Fulham short of game-time.
MItrovic could make his debut for the Cottagers this weekend, when they take on Nottingham Forest.
Sunderland, meanwhile, are set to come up against Ipswich Town at the Stadium of Light.
