Fresh off their 4-2 away win over Brentford in the Premier League, the Magpies then embarked on their journey down under and Howe is bringing plenty of firepower with him to Melbourne.
Chief amongst them is top goalscorer Alexander Isak, who found the back of the net 21-times in the Premier League this season to finish third in the Golden Boot race, while Brazilian star Bruno Guimaraes will also be on hand to wow the crowd in Melbourne.
Leading the team out for both their clash with Tottenham Hotspur at the MCG and the hotly anticipated contest at Marvel Stadium against the All Stars will be club captain and current England international Kieran Trippier, while fellow Three Lions rep Nick Pope, midfielder Harvey Barnes and striker Callum Wilson have also made the journey to Australia.
Meanwhile Brazilian midfielder Joelinton and Paraguay international Miguel Almiron are two of the other big names on their way to Australia alongside young Aussie talent Garang Kuol, who could be set for his minutes in a Newcastle shirt.
After kicking off Global Football Week Melbourne with a friendly clash against Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday night at the MCG, attention then turns to the mouthwatering match-up at Marvel Stadium on Friday night where some of the Isuzu UTE A-League’s best go head-to-head against the Magpies.
Having now officially been revealed as the head coach of the A-League All Stars, former Melbourne City boss Patrick Kisnorbo has already selected an initial squad of 13-players, with more announcements to be made on the rest of the squad on Monday.
