Souness sweats on Bellamy

Newcastle boss Graeme Souness is hopeful that striker Craig Bellamy will be fit to keep his place for tomorrow night’s UEFA Cup first round second-leg clash with Hapoel Bnei Sakhnin in Tel Aviv.

The Welshman twisted an ankle during Saturday’s 3-1 win over West Brom, but is expected to be available, as is Patrick Kluivert, who came off with a minor hamstring problem.
