O'Brien back for Magpies UEFA clash

The Republic of Ireland international will replace the ineligible Jean-Alain Boumsong alongside Titus Bramble at the heart of the Magpies’ rearguard.
Aaron Hughes is expected to continue at left-back in the absence of Celestine Babayaro (knee), while Patrick Kluivert could return in attack at the expense of Shola Ameobi after shaking off a groin problem.
Team (from): Given, Harper, Caig, Carr, Hughes, Bramble, O’Brien, Taylor, Ramage, Dyer, Robert, Faye, Bowyer, Jenas, Butt, N’Zogbia, Milner, Shearer, Ameobi, Kluivert.
