Newcastle boss Alan Pardew will rest some of this regular starting 11 with a key clash against Chelsea coming 48 hours after the game against the Greeks.
Fabricio Coloccini, midfielder Cheick Tiote, strikers Demba Ba and Shola Ameobi and Shane Ferguson and Haris Vuckic were not due to travel.
While summer arrivals Gael Bigirimana, Romain Amalfitano and Vurnon Anita could all be inline to start.
The absence of Ba could lead to teenage striker Adam Campbell to be handed his European debut after scoring a hat-trick for the development team over the weekend against Tottenham.
