Newcastle United supporters will get a first look at new manager Matthias Jaissle in action against Valencia tonight.

Matthias Jaissle has given Nick Woltemade and Aladji Bamba a chance to stake their claim at Newcastle United after naming bold maiden starting line-up.

Toon fans are preparing to watch the new manager in action for the first time against Valencia tonight. Jaissle has led the training sessions since last Saturday but was not officially announced as Eddie Howe’s successor until Wednesday.

He stayed coy on potential new arrivals - and likely exits - when grilled by the media earlier this week. The German vowed to give the current crop a chance before talk around incomings ramp up in the coming days.

Newcastle are without several high-profile stars, with Lewis Miley, Lewis Hall, Tino Livramento and Fabian Schar ruled out. The quartet are not being risked due to fitness concerns.

Hall and Schar trained alone in midweek and were never likely to play tonight. As for Miley and Livramento, they suffered injury setbacks earlier this summer and are not expected to return until the end of this month.

There is no place in the squad for Nick Pope, Ewen Jaouen or Alex Murphy. It is unclear why as all three training with the squad at the clubs’s La Manga base.

Jaissle has given new goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek his first chance to impress following a £25.6million move last week. Leo Shahar, Malick Thiaw - who captains the side - Sven Botman and Miodrag Pivas complete the backline.

In midfield, Jacob Ramsey and Bamba feature at the base, with Woltemade in the No.10 role. A frontline eager to shine sees Harvey Barnes, Anthony Elanga and Will Osula start up front.
