Newcastle United continue their pre-season preparations with a friendly against Championship side Bristol City at Ashton Gate on Tuesday evening. Eddie Howe's squad has been bolstered by the return of five World Cup players, with only Bruno Guimaraes and Dan Burn still to rejoin the group.
Team News and Availability
Howe's selection is expected to be stronger than the side that faced Gateshead last weekend, but he will manage minutes carefully after several players only recently resumed training. Lewis Miley and Joelinton are being monitored, while Sven Botman and Will Osula are anticipated to be fit.
New signings Aladji Bamba and Bazoumana Toure could make their first appearances, though Howe may hold them back given the squad's upcoming training camp in La Manga, Spain. Tino Livramento will not feature after withdrawing from the England World Cup squad.
