Five seniors in squad for Lyme Valley friendly

NEWCASTLE TOWN HOST a Stoke City XI in a friendly on Saturday afternoon, with five first-team players set to be in the squad for the Potters. 

Diego Arismendi, Danny Higginbotham, Carlo Nash, Mamady Sidibe and Michael Tonge are all expected to join up with the Elite Development Squad for the 2pm kick-off at the Aspire Stadium.

The game will be the last opportunity for match practice ahead of next weekend's Premier League curtain-raiser against Reading.

All five have played their part in City's pre-season campaign so far, with Tonge scoring a penalty in the 1-1 draw against Sporting Kansas City.

It will also be the last non-competitive fixture for the EDS, as they prepare for their Under 21 Premier League Group 2 opener versus Manchester United.

Tickets for the stand are priced at £7 whilst standing tickets are priced at £5 for adults and £3 for over 65s/under 17s. All tickets are available on the gate. 

Squad for Saturday's friendly at Newcastle Town: Nash, Bachmann, Sandiford; Higginbotham, Campbell, Glasgow, Heneghan, Keane, Parry, Westley; Arismendi, Tonge, Clarkson, Dawson, Hall, Musungu, Richardson, Rigg; Sidibe, Thomas, Rossi.
