Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe handed Sven Botman his first start in the Premier League away to Brighton & Hove Albion.
There was also a start for Nick Pope between the posts at the Amex Stadium while Kieran Trippier was handed the armband with Jamaal Lascelles still on the bench.
Botman was part of a defence that included Fabian Schar and Dan Burn at left-back with Matt Targett missing with a dead leg.
