Newcastle United will look to bounce back from Saturday’s Premier League defeat to Brighton when they host Benfica in the Champions League on Tuesday evening - but could be without a key player.
The Magpies have made something of a mixed start to the 2025/26 campaign, currently sitting 13th in the Premier League table after eight games, while in Europe, they followed up their opening fixture defeat to Barcelona with an emphatic victory over Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise.
