Newcastle will be without Dan Burn as they look to kickstart their season with a big result against Manchester City this weekend.

Despite some impressive displays in Europe, Eddie Howe's side have struggled in the Premier League, and are currently 14th in the table.
A big performance against City would certainly help to turn the tide, but Newcastle will be without one of their key players for the clash.
Burn played all 90 minutes of England's 2-0 win over Albania in their final 2026 World Cup qualifier on Sunday.
But he will not return to action with his club side at the weekend, as he is unavailable for selection.

It's a major blow for Eddie Howe's side, with the defender starting all 11 of their Premier League games this season, while Man City will look to take advantage of this with a win that would put them a point within leaders Arsenal.
Why is Dan Burn not available against Man City?
The 33-year-old will play no part this weekend as he is suspended.
Burn was sent off in the Toon Army's last match - a 3-1 away defeat to Brentford - as he was shown a second yellow card.
Both of his bookings came for fouls on Dango Ouattara, the first of which came in the 59th minute, before receiving his marching orders in the 73rd minute.
But things could arguably have been even worse for Burn, who was fortunate not to concede a penalty on the hour mark.
In another incident involving Ouattara, the Bees forward went down following a challenge from Burn inside the box.

But to the surprise of many, referee Stuart Attwell deemed his tackle to be of minimal contact and instead booked Ouattara for simulation.
VAR then reviewed the incident and stuck with Attwell's decision of no penalty, despite replays showing contact from Burn.
This proved a controversial decision, and drew criticism in the talkSPORT studio from former Arsenal man Perry Groves.
Commentating on the clash, Groves said of the incident: "He's exaggerated it, but 100 per cent there is contact there.
"So, you can't book Ouattara for diving because he's actually been fouled.
"I cannot believe that Paul Tierney hasn't got involved in that, that's ridiculous."

But Burn's luck soon ran out, as he was then sent off following his third altercation with Ouattara.
The England international brought down the wide man as he raced towards the box, and immediately accepted his fate as he was shown a second yellow.
With the score level at the time, his dismissal proved a turning point as Brentford went on to win 3-1.
