Gau confirmed that defensive player Anthony Gordon and defensive player Emil Kraft were with the team on the game, but defender Kieran Trippier is still recovering from injury.

The “magpies” mentor also noted that he would have to consult with the medical staff, or believe that the product would be released in the starting warehouse of Tino Livramento and Lewis Gall, since the game against Manchester City was over in just three.

" Especially when dealing with Kieran’s injury, we have not fully explained the terms of his turn, but it leaves us without options in the position of the extreme defender,” the BBC coach is quoted as saying..

Gau emphasized the need for rotation of players in the match with the previous match: “We have depth in stock. Because the same football players will lose every match, but will not help us reach our goal."

In the end, Newcastle sits in 1st place in his group, with 9 points. Marseille are in 25th position with 3 points.
