Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton has been left out of the team's pre-season tour of America after the US Embassy refused to grant him a visa.

In 2008 he was jailed after admitting assault in Liverpool city centre.

In the same year he was given a suspended sentence for an assault on a team-mate at Manchester City.

Newcastle United also confirmed that striker Nile Ranger, who has a conviction for robbery, had also been refused a visa.

GHELs. Alan Pardew must be so proud of them.
