Steve Bruce names four Newcastle United players set for FA Cup recalls

Steve Bruce is ready to bring four players into his starting XI at the Kassam Stadium.

Newcastle United take on Oxford United in an FA Cup replay tomorrow night.

And defenders Florian Lejeune and Fabian Schar will come into Bruce’s starting XI along with midfielders Sean and Matty Longstaff.

“I will freshen it slightly,” said head coach Bruce.

“We’ve got two centre-halves, Schar and Lejeune, who are desperate to play. So too will the Longstaffs, if they’re fit.”
