Senegal's Cisse agrees to wear Newcastle's Wonga-sponsored kit

Newcastle's Senegalese striker Papiss Cisse said he has agreed to wear the club's Wonga-sponsored kit after consulting his Islamic teachers.
The 28-year-old missed Newcastle's training camp in Portugal after refusing to wear the shirt due to his religious beliefs.
"It has been a very difficult time for me and the club, and also for the fans," Cisse was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
"I have had some useful discussions with my club, my family and Islamic teachers in the last few weeks. After a huge amount of thought and reflection, I have made the decision to follow my team-mates and wear the kit.
"Now I think it is important for the team and the fans that we concentrate 100 per cent on football."
Cisse made his first pre-season appearance in a friendly game against Scottish side St Mirrenon Tuesday.
"Although I did not go to Portugal on the training camp, I was back here working hard on my fitness and preparing for the start of the new season," he added.
