The team sheets are out ahead of Newcastle’s pre-season friendly at Hull City, where Eddie Howe’s Mags take on the Tigers in a 2pm kick-off at the MKM Stadium.
NUFC XI: Pope – Livramento, Krafth, Burn, Lewis – J. Miley, Joelinton, Hall – Murphy, Isak, Barnes.
SUBS: Vlachodimos, Ruddy, Heffernan, Turner-Cooke, Kuol, Parkinson, Stanton, Emerson, Munda, Sanusi, Thompson, Harrison, Charlton.
Isak leads the line and is joined in attack by Murphy and Barnes, with Joelinton partnered in midfield by Hall and Jamie Miley; Lewis’ older brother. It’s also great to see Pope back in goal and Livramento fit enough to start, while Jamal Lewis also makes a rare appearance at left-back.
New signings Vlachoimos and Ruddy make the bench along with Kuol, Sanusi and a host of U21 talents, but Willock, Longstaff and Kelly have remained on Tyneside to do additional training. Schar and Almiron only just returned to training on Friday and neither feature, with Guimaraes, Gordon and Trippier yet to report back from extended breaks.
As expected, Sandro Tonali is still not eligible to play, while Dubravka, Gillespie, Botman (ACL), Lascelles (ACL), Targett, Ashby, A. Murphy, L. Miley (broken foot), White, and Wilson (back) are also missing from the squad.
Hull City XI: Pandur, Coyle, Jones, McLoughlin, Jacob, Simons, Estupinan, Omur, Slater, Giles, Longman
Let's go, lads! 💪 pic.twitter.com/awBCJ4S6dr

Australian. Been supporting Newcastle United since the late 1980s and became more passionate about the toon when the premier league was first broadcast on Australian TV in the early 1990s. Almost 50 now and absolutely love NUFC.
