MIGUEL ALMIRON and Alexander Isak return to Newcastle United's starting side for this evening's Champions League home game against Borussia Dortmund.

Almiron will start on the right-hand side of the Magpies attack, and replaces Jacob Murphy from the side that kicked off Saturday's Premier League win over Crystal Palace.

Isak will lead the line in attack, having got the nod ahead of Callum Wilson, who drops down to the substitutes' bench.

Sandro Tonali is in the squad despite an impending ban for betting offences, with the Italian named amongst the substitutes, as he was at the weekend.

It has been suggested that Tonali is set to receive a ten-month suspension from the Italian footballing authorities, which means if he comes off the bench tonight, he could well be making his final appearance of the season.


NEWCASTLE (4-3-3): Pope; Trippier, Lascelles, Schar, Burn; Longstaff, Guimaraes, Joelinton; Almiron, Isak, Gordon.

Subs: Dubravka, Karius, Dummett, Tonali, Wilson, Targett, Hall, Livramento, Murphy, Willock. 

BORUSSIA DORTMUND (4-3-3): Kobel; Wolf, Hummels, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini; Can, Nmecha, Sabitzer; Reus, Fullkrug, Malen.

Subs: Meyer, Lotka, Ozcan, Reyna, Haller, Moukoko, Sule, Adeyemi, Blank, Bynoe-Gittens.
