Newcastle United are without Sven Botman and Callum Wilson for tonight’s Champions LEague clash with PSG.
The influential centre-back faces a few weeks on the sidelines with a knee injury, ruling him out of Newcastle's first home Champions League game in two decades. That means much-forgotten captain Jamal Lascelles will start alongside Fabian Schar and makeshift left-back Dan Burn. Kieran Trippier will start at right-back.
Joelinton was forced off against Burnley which duly sees Sean Longstaff start. Sandro Tonali also start.

Harvey Barnes and Joe Willock are also unavailable, the former until next year and the latter for around three more weeks.
Callum Wilson's hamstring problem rules him out, though Alexander Isak is the first-choice striker in any case.
