"Eddie Howe's side have won their last three Champions League fixtures, and they will fancy their chances of making it four in a row in France. However, Howe will be without a number of players for the trip to Marseille. Emil Krafth, Yoane Wissa and Will Osula are all expected to miss out, while there are doubts about the availability of Kieran Tripper and Anthony Gordon, both of whom missed the victory at St James' Park on Saturday evening."
"As per Newcastle World, Lascelles was not named in Newcastle's 21-man List A squad for the Champions League, which is why he cannot be allowed to play in the league phase. He was absent against Barcelona, Union Saint-Gilloise, Benfica and Athletic Club, and it will be the same again when Howe's side take on Marseille. Harrison Ashby, John Ruddy and Mark Gillespie were also left out of Newcastle's Champions League squad, although none of those three are as counted upon as Lascelles."
