Three of Rafa Benitez's young pretenders have been given first-team squad numbers for 2008-09.
Damien Plessis, Krisztian Nemeth and Martin Kelly have all been allocated numbers for the first time.
Central midfielder Plessis, who borrowed the number 47 for his debut at the Emirates last term, will wear 28 on a permanent basis.
Nemeth, who top-scored for Gary Ablett's title-winning reserves in 2007-08, has been handed the number 29.
Defender Kelly will have 34 on his back should he make his first-team debut in the forthcoming campaign.
Meanwhile, three youngsters have swapped shirts: Emiliano Insua has moved from 48 to 22; Jay Spearing from 34 to 26; and Nabil El Zhar from 42 to 31.
