Newcastle centre-back Dan Burn previously admitted that training can be challenging due to the internal knowledge of set-pieces.

“I feel like the more time that we spend with each other and the more time we’re repeating the stuff that the manager and the staff’s trying to get across, that it just makes us stronger.”

After spending 12 days in Miami they will move on to their tournament base camp in Kansas City.
