The new head coach has been working with the squad over the last few days in La Manga, and will now get the opportunity to put some of his ideas into practice in the pre-season clash with Ches Blanquinegros, who finished ninth in La Liga last term.

He hands a debut in goal to Lukáš Horníček, who signed from Braga earlier in the week, while there's a first start in black and white for 21-year-old Serbian defender Miodrag Pivaš.

He arrived on Tyneside two years ago from Jedinstvo Ub and is joined in the backline by Leo Shahar, Sven Botman and Malick Thiaw, who is celebrating his 25th birthday and is named captain.

Lewis Hall isn't risked due to a knock, while Fabian Schär and Alex Murphy are ruled out. Tino Livramento underwent minor surgery earlier in the summer and Dan Burn reports back next week after helping England reach the semi-finals of the World Cup.

Summer signing Aladji Bamba is paired with Jacob Ramsey in midfield, with Harvey Barnes and Anthony Elanga occupying wide berths. Nick Woltemade and William Osula will be the central attackers.

Newbottle-born Henry Johnson - a teenage defender capable of playing at centre-half or full back - is named among the substitutes. He signed his first professional contract this summer. Dylan Charlton is also in the squad.

Joelinton, Yoane Wissa, Sean Steur, Bazoumana Touré, Jacob Murphy, Joe Willock, Rory Finneran, Sean Neave and Mason Miley are the other players hoping to get minutes to impress Jaissle, with the Premier League season kick-off just over a fortnight away. Mark Gillespie and Aidan Harris are the substitute goalkeepers.
