Five players with first-team experience will play for Newcastle in Tuesday night's Northumberland FA Senior Cup quarter-final tie at Bedlington Terriers.
Shane Ferguson, Romain Amalfitano, Mehdi Abeid, Nile Ranger and Adam Campbell will all line up against the Northern League First Division outfit, who drew 0-0 with leaders Spennymoor at the weekend.
Remie Streete, who has been named in United's last four senior squads, is also involved while Lubo Satka, the promising Slovakian defender, has returned from injury and is part of Willie Donachie and Peter Beardsley's party.
Kick-off at the Dr. Pit Welfare Park is 7.30pm and admission is £6 for adults and £3 concessions. Extra-time will be played if required in a fixture that had previously been postponed three times.
Goalkeeper Jonathan Mitchell and striker JJ Hooper are still able to play for Newcastle as part of their youth loans with Workington, while the same applies to Marcus Maddison and Michael Riley who have been gaining experience with Blyth Spartans.
The full squad is: Mehdi Abeid, Jak Alnwick, Romain Amalfitano, Adam Campbell, Shane Ferguson, JJ Hooper, Alex Kitchen, Dennis Knight, Steven Logan, Marcus Maddison, Brandon Miele, Jonathan Mitchell, Nile Ranger, Michael Riley, Lubo Satka, Remie Streete.
