Newcastle United team news

Newcastle are winless in their last four pre-season games, reflecting a turbulent summer both on and off the pitch.

There is only one significant injury: midfielder Joseph Willock is ruled out. Star striker Alexander Isak is also unavailable, with reports citing both minor knocks and heightened transfer speculation amid interest from Liverpool.

Atletico Madrid team news

Atlético Madrid suffered a defeat to FC Porto in their only other pre-season match of the summer, entering this tie looking to rebuild confidence before their LaLiga opener.

The team travels to Newcastle with a full-strength squad; no injuries or suspensions are currently reported. The frontline is particularly competitive, featuring new marquee signing Julián Álvarez and prolific striker Alexander Sørloth, who had the best goals-per-minute ratio in LaLiga last season.
