Bellamy to Return to Newcastle

Last updated : 10 May 2005 By Gary Fish

Newcastle United will tell striker Craig Bellamy to turn up for pre-season training if they have not been sold by then.

On-loan at Celtic, Bellamy, 25, has no future at Newcastle after falling out with boss Graeme Souness.

After a poor season Newcastle want to enter the Intertoto Cup and will begin training on 22 June.

Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd said: "They will be expected to report for training like everybody else."

Shepherd added: "We have contractual obligations to both Craig Bellamy and Hugo Viana, just like they have contractual obligations to us."

In February, Bellamy, 25, completed a loan move to Celtic until the end of the season after a public fall-out with Souness.

Bellamy has sent three weeks out with a hamstring strain but could return on Sunday against Hearts as Celtic look to secure the Scottish Premier League Title.
