Zurab Set To Face Blades

2006/07 - zurab khizanishvilli (right) tussels with sheffield united striker rob hulse.

Khizanishvili, 28 was due to be on loan to Sheffield United prior to Christmas; with a deal agreed until Newcastle United stepped in at the final hour and the Georgian international moved to St James Park instead.

He made his Magpies debut in a 2-2 draw at Barnsley before being sent-off against Doncaster Rovers, which meant he missed their 1-0 victory at Bramall Lane.

The defender could make his debut at Bramall Lane tomorrow night.
