Rather than Finland, two of the Magpies’ players are in another part of the world.
Forward Yoann Arquin and midfielder Andre Boucuad are taking part in the USA-based CONCACAF Gold Cup with Martinique and Trinidad & Tobago respectively.
Both of their nations have been in action this week with their first group stage encounters, as Martinque faced Canada and Trinidad & Tobago took on El Salvador.
On Monday night, Arquin impressed over 80 minutes in a wide attacking role, though Martinique left it until after his withdrawal to wrap up the points with a 1-0 victory through Fabrice Reuperne’s last-gasp wonder-strike.
Boucaud was an unused substitute for Trinidad & Tobago’s 2-2 draw with El Salvador on Tuesday night.
