Newcastle United are back in Champions League action against Union Saint-Gilloise on Wednesday night (5:45pm kick-off).

The Magpies will be looking to bounce back from their opening group defeat to Barcelona at St James’ Park and pick up their first away win of the new season in all competitions. But in order to do that they will have to score their first away goal of the campaign.

They face a Union SG side who are the champions of Belgium and won their first ever Champions League match at PSV Eindhoven 3-1 a fortnight ago.

On Tuesday evening, Newcastle’s squad arrived at Lotto Park, home of Anderlecht, for a brief training session and media duties.

Six players don’t travel with Newcastle United squad to Belgium

There was no Tino Livramento with the travelling squad for Wednesday’s match following his knee injury picked up against Arsenal on Sunday.

Livramento was stretchered off when The Magpies were leading 1-0 at St James’ Park but a late collapse saw Arsenal snatch a 2-1 victory.

In his pre-match press conference ahead of Union SG, Howe said: “The journey was good. It was a very quick flight for us.

“We’ll train this afternoon, just after this press conference. And the squad is in a pretty good place, minus Tino. We’re still awaiting feedback on the extent of his injury, but I think apart from that we’re okay.

“I’m better off waiting before giving any indication on that because that could be a mistake. Let’s wait and see in the next couple of days.”

Yoane Wissa and Jacob Ramsey are also out of the match due to injury, while three more first-team players didn’t travel.
