Newcastle had planned to visit the US last summer to take part in the Ohio Cup along with Wolverhampton Wanderers, Valencia and Villarreal but the pre-season tournament was cancelled at short notice. That forced Eddie Howe’s side to quickly arrange tours of Austria and Portugal where they faced 1860 Munich, Mainz 05 and Benfica respectively.
