PSG v Newcastle United early team news as 19 players ruled out of crunch Champions League tie

Paris Saint-Germain v Newcastle United early team news: 19 players ruled out of Champions League tie.

Newcastle United and Paris Saint-Germain lock horns in the Champions League once again, and a lot is riding on this evening's meeting at the Parc des Princes (kick-off 8pm).

For Eddie Howe's side, the picture is clear. They must win to keep their hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages alive, although a draw would be good enough if AC Milan beat Borussia Dortmund in the other Group F fixture.

There is a feeling that PSG are out for a bit of revenge tonight after the Magpies humiliated the French champions at St James' Park in October.

United, of course, won 4-1 following goals from Miguel Almiron, Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff and Fabian Schar. But a lot of happened since then with Howe's squad in the midst of an injury crisis.

For example, two of the goalscorers that night, Burn and Longstaff, are among the numerous players to be sidelined, either through injury, suspension or ineligibility.

Here, NewcastleWorld takes a look at the 19 players ruled out of this evening clash from both Newcastle and PSG's camp:
