Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe is set to rotate his squad for the upcoming friendlies, with key players like Fabian Schar, Bruno Guimaraes, and Lloyd Kelly likely to see more action after making their pre-season debuts against Yokohama F. Marinos. Meanwhile, Kieran Trippier and Anthony Gordon have returned to training following their Euro 2024 duties with England, though their participation in the matches remains uncertain. New signing William Osula could also make his first appearance for the club.

On the Brest side, the team will be without defender Bradley Locko, who is away at the Paris 2024 Olympics. However, recent signing Jordan Amavi is expected to maintain his position in the back line, alongside fellow new recruit Abdoulaye Ndiaye. Midfielder Mahdi Camara, who scored in their last match against Juventus, is likely to start again, with Ludovic Ajorque leading the attack.

However, manager Russell Martin’s squad rotation after their 5-0 loss to Leicester City resulted in a lackluster display, with key players left on the bench as their counterparts failed to seize their opportunities.
