"Dortmund vs Newcastle team news: Eddie Howe revamps Toon defense in Germany"

Newcastle United boss reshuffles defence for Borussia Dortmund clash, with Dan Burn out injured. Tino Livramento and Kieran Trippier switched positions.

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe was faced with a challenge as he had to make changes to his defense for the match against Borussia Dortmund due to Dan Burn's injury. Tino Livramento was brought into the starting line-up, and Kieran Trippier was moved to left-back. Nick Pope was in goal, and the former Chelsea defender was placed at right-back. The central defensive pairing was made up of Jamaal Lascelles and Fabian Schar, with Sean Longstaff, Joe Willock, and Bruno Guimaraes named in midfield. Lewis Hall, Joelinton, and Callum Wilson led the line, with youngsters Lucas De Bolle and Ben Parkinson on the bench. Miguel Almiron and Anthony Gordon were also among the substitutes. Burn's back injury, which will keep him out for three months, occurred after a fall against Arsenal. Newcastle knew that only a win would take them back above Dortmund as they aimed to advance to the last 16, having lost the first encounter 1-0 at St James' Park. Howe went into the game with 12 players either suspended, injured, or ineligible for the group match, and he celebrated two years in charge of the team in Germany. The line-up for Newcastle was Pope, Livramento, Lascelles, Schar, Trippier, Willock, Bruno, Longstaff, Hall, Joelinton, and Wilson. The substitutes were Dubravka, Dummett, De Bolle, Gordon, Karius, L Miley, Almiron, and Parkinson. Dortmund's XI was Kobel, Ryerson, Hummels, Schlotterbeck, Süle, Sabitzer, Özcan, Nmecha, Malen, Brandt, and Füllkrug, with Meyer, Lotka, Bensebaini, Blank, Haller, Reus, Reyna, Moukoko, Malen, Wolf, and Bynoe-Gittens as substitutes.
