Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi were absent from Newcastle United’s recent match against Crystal Palace last Saturday, but they are now making preparations to return to Tyneside in anticipation of the upcoming Champions League clash scheduled for Wednesday.
The Magpies are set to face Borussia Dortmund at St James’ Park in the Champions League, aiming to maintain their impressive start in the competition. Despite being placed in what is commonly referred to as the ‘group of death,’ Newcastle currently leads the group with four points after two games. While Dortmund presents a formidable challenge, Newcastle had an ideal warm-up for the match over the weekend, cruising to a 4-0 victory against Crystal Palace. Eddie Howe’s team displayed dominance, propelling them to the sixth position in the Premier League standings.
The next big event on the horizon is the Champions League, and Amanda Staveley, the club owner, has conveyed a message to the fans in anticipation of Wednesday night’s match.
