AC Milan v Newcastle United: Injury news and how to watch Champions League clash

Milan are seven-time European champions and reached the semi-final of the competition last season and will be formidable foes for the Magpies in their first outing in Europe’s premier competition in over 20 years.

Howe’s side will be backed by a sold-out away end in Italy and here, we take a look at everything supporters need to know ahead of their clash with AC Milan:

Newcastle United will be without Joelinton for the trip to Italy after Howe confirmed the Brazilian had suffered a recurrence of a knee-injury he suffered whilst on international duty.
