Newcastle United are jetting out to France ahead of Thursday night's final Europa League Group D fixture against Bordeaux (6pm kick-off).
Manager Alan Pardew has named a 20-man party for the match at the Stade Chaban Delmas, which blends youth and experience.
Striker Shola Ameobi - fit again following a recent hamstring injury - is on the plane, along with the likes of club captain Fabricio Coloccini, front man Papiss Cisse and full-back Danny Simpson.
At the other end of the spectrum is 17-year-old Adam Campbell, who became the Magpies' youngest European debutant when he featured against Atromitos in the competition's qualifying round, while there is also places for Mehdi Abeid, Gael Bigirimana and second string regulars Conor Newton, 21, and Yven Moyo, 20, who are both yet to make an appearance for United's first team.
