Xisco in line for Newcastle appearance

Forgotten man Xisco was among a 20-strong Newcastle party which arrived in Belgium today ahead of tomorrow night’s Europa League clash with Club Brugge.

The Spaniard, who scored a hat-trick for the club’s Under-21s side against Stoke last month, was on the plane along with Fabricio Coloccini and Cheick Tiote, who are both likely to feature as they are suspended for Sunday’s Barclays Premier League fixture against West Ham.
