Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe offered a cautious response when asked if Ryan Fraser would play again this season. The Scotland international winger pulled up against Wolverhampton Wanderers with a hamstring injury but is back on the grass at Benton.
But Howe is not sure whether he will be pushed to feature in any of the remaining fixtures. Newcastle face Liverpool this weekend before a tough trip to Man City, a home clash with Arsenal and a visit to Burnley at Turf Moor.
Howe said: "Ryan has been on the grass but he’s not trained. We’re taking it careful with him. Hamstring injuries can be difficult. Will he play again this season? I’m not sure at this moment in time. But it’s not a serious injury, it won’t keep him out too long."
