Hayden, 29, has been at St James’ Park since 2016 and is the only senior player to not be included in the 25-man list submitted on Friday.

It was expected that the star would finalise a loan deal during the summer, but no agreement was ever officially signed.

And Hayden’s 2026 World Cup hopes may have been crushed as a result of the exclusion as he is among the British-born players that newly-appointed Jamaica manager Steve McClaren was keen to acquire.

It remains to be seen whether McClaren will opt for Hayden knowing he has been forced to the sideline until January at the earliest.

Hayden arrived at Newcastle in 2016 from Arsenal and has not made a competitive appearance for the Magpies since December 2021.

He has not featured on on any of Eddie Howe’s squad sheets this term either.

During his spell at the club, he has spent time on loan at Championship clubs Norwich and Queens Park Rangers, as well as Belgian side Standard Liege.

Meanwhile, five shot-stoppers have been added to Howe’s squad list for the first half of the season.

Martin Dubravka, Nick Pope, Odysseas Vlachodimos, John Ruddy and Mark Gillespie were all chosen as options for the number one role.

Howe’s side have had a strong start to the season after winning three out of their four opening games in the Premier League.

Their next clash will be against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon.
