Elliot Anderson's superb season at Bristol Rovers could get even better after Newcastle return

Elliot Anderson has returned to Newcastle United following his outrageously successful loan spell with Bristol Rovers and is eligible to play in the Premier League over the final two games of the season.

The Newcastle Chronicle reports that the 19-year-old is a genuine midfield option for Eddie Howe following injuries to Jonjo Shelvey and Joe Willock, ruling them out for the remainder of the 2021/22 campaign.

Newcastle play Arsenal and Burnley and after relegation fears were eased several weeks ago, can finish as high as ninth. But Howe's midfield options are thin, as evidenced by the decision to call up 18-year-old Jay Turner-Cooke to the travelling squad against Manchester City on Sunday.
