Eddie Howe admitted that he may have found a ‘bright’ new option to deal with the recent number of injuries in his side, as Newcastle continue to work without some of their most talented individuals at this early stage of the season.
The Magpies have already lost midfielder Jonjo Shelvey to a long-term injury this summer, while the likes of Callum Wilson, Bruno Guimaraes and Allan Saint-Maximin have all been in the treatment room of late.
However, Howe has dropped a new hint over the availability of the aforementioned trio ahead of this weekend’s clash with West Ham United, where a return for just one of his stars would provide a huge boost to the Magpies.
