The Danish youngster joined the Cumbrians for the season in August, but has started just one league game, making a further seven appearances from the bench and appearing in four cup games.

Under the terms of the deal, the loan can be cut short in January and, following discussions between Newcastle's loan manager Shola Ameobi and Carlisle head coach Chris Beech, Sørensen has now returned to St. James' Park.

The 20-year-old could be involved in Friday evening's Premier League International Cup game against Blackburn Rovers (kick-off 7pm GMT). Sørensen was Newcastle's top goalscorer at under-23 level last term, hitting 20 goals.
