Ciaran Clark remains a Newcastle United player despite being linked with Crystal Palace and Bristol City in the last 24 hours.
Clark was pulled to one side by Steve Bruce for a private chat before kick off at Easter Road and was named only as a sub at Easter Road for the clash against Hibernian.
The Republic of Ireland defender started the game alongside another player tipped for the exit door in Freddie Woodman - who is wanted by two Championship clubs on loan.
But Bruce was able to hand £40million man Joelinton his first start and Miguel Almiron was fielded alongside him.
The Magpies still hope to add to their squad but have just one friendly game left against St Etienne before the big kick off against Arsenal.
Darlow, Manquillo, Schar, Lascelles, Dummett, Hayden, Shelvey, S Longstaff, Ritchie, Almiron, Joelinton
Subs : Woodman, Sterry, Clark, Fernández, Ki, M. Longstaff, Aarons, Murphy, Muto.
