Newcastle Team News
Coach Eddie Howe has faced significant injury issues recently, but it didn’t hinder the team’s performance in the first leg. Bruno Guimaraes is currently out due to a thigh injury that will keep him sidelined for at least a month.
Emil Krafth will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery. Fabian Schar, Tino Livramento, Lewis Miley, Yoane Wissa, and Sven Botman are also likely to be unavailable for this match.
Wissa and Botman are questionable, with either potentially fit to play. However, given the significant aggregate lead, they might be rested for upcoming Premier League matches.
