Osula and Bruno start vs Brest – Team news from St James’ Park for Sela Cup finale

The team sheets are in at St James’ Park, where Newcastle United take on Ligue 1 side Stade Brest in the final game of the Sela Weekender.

As expected, Eddie Howe has named an entirely different XI to the side that beat Girona 4-0 yesterday:

STARTING 11: Dubravka – Trippier, Schar, Kelly, Lewis – Harrison, Bruno, Willock – Almiron, Osula, Barnes. 

SUBS:Vlachodimos, Gillespie, Ashby, Heffernan, Stanton, Hernes, Emerson, Munda, Sanusi, Shahar.

New signings Will Osula and Lloyd Kelly come in for their first Newcastle appearances at St James’ Park, with first-team stars Bruno Guimaraes, Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schar, Joe Willock and Harvey Barnes also named in Howe’s starting line-up.

Sandro Tonali (ineligible) misses out once again, with other absentees (aside from those who played yesterday) including Callum Wilson (back), Lewis Miley (foot), Sven Botman (ACL), Jamaal Lascelles (ACL), Matt Targett (Achilles), Martin Dubravka, Harrison Ashby, Alex Murphy (hip), Joe White (back) and Garang Kuol (knee).
