The Magpies have jetted to the other side of the world to continue their preparations for the new Premier League campaign, and the Saitama Stadium - one of the host venues for the 2002 World Cup - in Saitama Prefecture is the setting for their latest test.

Eddie Howe's side kicked off their pre-season schedule with a 2-0 victory against Championship club Hull City last Saturday, with last season's top scorer Alexander Isak and Jacob Murphy on target.

The Newcastle squad is not at full strength for the trip, however, as Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles are long-term injury absentees, while Bruno Guimarães and Kieran Trippier are on holiday after their exploits at Copa America and Euro 2024 respectively.

Urawa Reds will have match fitness on their side as they are in the middle of the J1 League campaign, although a run of two wins from their last 11 matches in all competitions means they are in poor form.
