Newcastle United face Turkish side Fenerbahce in Austria at the Sonnenseestadion, home of SC Ritzing. To start, Newcastle will be without Papiss Cisse, who is still regaining fitness after ill health, Hatem Ben Arfa and Yohan Cabaye as they are still on their holiday's following the Euro 2012 campaign.

Neither Steven Taylor, who is back in training, but not yet fully fit after a hamstring injury, nor Shane Ferguson (groin) are available.

Fabricio Coloccini starts his first pre-season game, whilst Demba Ba plays as a lone striker in the absence of strike partner Cisse.

Fenerbahce go into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw against MTK Budapest on Wednesday night, where they gave 18 players a run out across the 90 minutes.
