Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie has delivered a sneak peek into the expected lineup for Newcastle United as they gear up for a high-stakes encounter against AC Milan in the Champions League tonight.
In his latest report (quoted by Caught Offside), Downie indicates that the English winger Harvey Barnes is unlikely to secure a spot in Eddie Howe's starting eleven.
Instead, the spotlight is set to shine on a trio of promising talents, as Sando Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes, and Miguel Almiron are all poised to make their presence felt on the field for the Magpies.
The decision to field these dynamic players suggests an intriguing tactical shift, as the Premier League outfit aim to make an impact against their Italian opponents in this crucial match.
“I expect Eddie Howe to revert back to the tried and trusted on Tuesday. Callum Wilson played the full 90 minutes on Saturday in a 1-0 win. He trained on his own on Monday, and I expect Alexander Isak to come back in,” Downie said.
“The back four picks itself, but there are a few positions which could be changed. I think Tonali will come back in due to Joelinton’s injury, alongside Bruno Guimaraes and Sean Longstaff.
“I think Miguel Almiron will replace Harvey Barnes on the right of the front three, as Eddie Howe goes back to his favoured players from the first few games of the season who did so well, particularly against Aston Villa.”
