The confirmed Newcastle United team v Valencia has now been announced.
Matthias Jaissle taking charge of his first ever NUFC match.
The Newcastle United squad having trained at La Manga the past week.
The first friendly of the summer having been a behind closed doors 3-0 win over Darlington.
Then a 1-1 draw at Gateshead, the first pre-season friendly in front of fans.
The third one a 4-1 defeat at Bristol City, which proved to be Eddie Howe’s very final Newcastle United match.
A brilliant effort for a match overseas, with all 2,000 official tickets sold in the away end. Plus no doubt countless other NUFC fans amongst the Valencia supporters.
