MATT RITCHIE returns to Newcastle's starting line-up for this evening's Championship game at Barnsley.
The Scottish winger has recovered from the illness that kept him out of Saturday's 3-1 win over Brentford, and replaces Christian Atsu on the right of midfield.
Rafael Benitez has made three changes from his weekend line-up, with Isaac Hayden coming in for Jack Colback at the base of midfield.
Hayden will play alongside Jonjo Shelvey, with Mo Diame replacing Ayoze Perez in the 'number ten' role.
