Newcastle United v PSG: The latest injury and team news from both camps ahead of their Champions League showdown.

Newcastle United face PSG at St James’ Park in their second Champions League group stage match. The hosts drew 0-0 at the San Siro in their opening game of the competition whilst PSG were 2-0 victors over Borussia Dortmund. 

However, a hectic recent schedule means both teams will head into Wednesday’s match with their fair share of injury concerns. Newcastle are currently in the midst of a mini injury ‘crisis’ whilst their visitors will be without a couple of their key players for the trip to Tyneside.

Here, we take a look at injury and team news from both camps ahead of the clash between Newcastle United and PSG: 

The Dutchman missed Saturday’s win over Burnley with a knee problem. Although he isn’t expected to be sidelined for too long, games against PSG and West Ham will likely come too early for him and a return after the international break is most likely.
