## Key points

- Dedic is unlikely to face club action after the bow-and-arrow incident.
- Police said the equipment was for recreation and posed no public threat.
- The £29.5m signing is expected to start against Fulham.

## Summary

Newcastle are unlikely to discipline Amar Dedic after the right-back was seen carrying a bow and arrow in the Northumberland countryside, prompting a police response that included an armed unit. Police said they found no threat to the public, and Dedic is expected to play against Fulham on Saturday.

The incident happened on Wednesday after a member of the public reported two men with bows and arrows near a reservoir; officers later stopped Dedic’s car and seized the equipment. Six patrol cars were involved in the pursuit to his home, where Newcastle goalkeeper Mark Gillespie and former player Paul Dummett reportedly helped calm the situation. The club is understood to view Dedic’s actions as naïve; police enquiries remain ongoing.
