By Anthony Marshall - Newcastle United Managing Editor
Newcastle United are jetting out to Ukraine ahead of Thursday night's Europa League Round of 32 second-leg fixture against Metalist Kharkiv (6pm kick-off English time).
Manager Alan Pardew has named a strong 19-man party for the match at the Metalist Stadium, which the Magpies travel to hoping to build on a first-leg goalless draw.
January signings Moussa Sissoko, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa and Massadio Haidara are all on the plane, along with the likes of club captain Fabricio Coloccini, midfielder Yohan Cabaye and striker Papiss Cisse.
There is also a welcome return for Dan Gosling, who is involved in the first team squad for the first time since injuring ankle ligaments back in October.
