Eddie Howe has given an update on the fitness status of Ryan Fraser following a further scan on his hamstring injury. The Scotland international has missed the last two matches after coming off in the opening stages of the 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at St James' Park. Since then he has had two opinions over the muscle problem.
Howe said today: "Ryan Fraser is relatively good news, but he's in a race to be fit this season."
Newcastle go into the game against Norwich City on the back of three grueling, albeit successful encounters in the Premier League against Wolves, Leicester City and Crystal Palace and Howe hinted at some slight rotation.
