However, Newcastle’s football boss, Peter Parr, refuted these claims, stating that Ponga trained without pain management and was medically cleared to play. Parr expressed offense at the accusations that the club would field an unfit player and dismissed any connection between Ponga’s foot injury and his previous hip issue.
